So how you do scientific notation is, however many places you move the decimal point to the left is the number that you put in the power. For example, Mercury's mass is 330,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. You move the decimal point 23 places to the left to get 3.3 x 10^23. ( ^ means power. The little number that is next to the 10)
Now according to the question, the mass of Jupiter is 5.8 x 10^3 multiplied by 3.3 x 10^23 (5,800 x 330,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
The answer to part A is, 1,941,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Then, 3.2 x 10^2(X)=5.8 x 10^3 x 3.3 x 10^23
I don't know if you know how to do algebra, but this is very simple to solve. All you do is divide bolth sides of the equation by 3.2 x 10^2 leaving X (Earths mass) on the left.
For the right side need to divide 320 by 1,941,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. This will be the answer to part B
Hopefully this was helpful enough for you to show your work. Good luck : )
In general, with decimals, the first place value after the decimal is read as a tenth, the second is read as a hundredth, the third is read as a thousandth, and so on. In front of the decimal, we know that 4 is in the tens place and 5 is in the ones place, so we say forty-five. Past the decimal, 2 is in the tenths place (think about how 2/10 = .2, which is "two-tenths") and 3 is in the hundredths place (think about how 23/100 = .23). You read the number after the decimal like normal ("twenty-three," "two-hundred fifteen," etc), then you add the place ("tenths, hundredths, ten-thousands") at the very end.
Using proportions, it is found that it will take him 22.5 hours to walk the 45 dogs.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
He walks 3 dogs in 1 hour and 30 minutes, we means that the time in hours it takes for him to walk a dog is:
t = 1.5/3 = 0.5 hours.
Hence the time it will take him to walk 45 dogs is given by:
