<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two points (3,4) and (0,1)
so we can find the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1-4)/(0-3)
= -3/-3
= 1
The point slope form is
( y-y1) = m(x-x1)
y - (4) = 1 (x-3)
y - (4) = (x-3)
or using the other point
y - 1 = 1( x-0)
y - 1 = x
Answer:
c. 2520
Explanation:
Repetition is not allowed, therefore:
1st digit can be any of the given 7 numbers
2nd digit can be any of the remaining 6 numbers
3rd digit can be any of the remaining 5 numbers
4th digit can be any of the remaining 4 numbers
5th digit can be any of the remaining 3 numbers
This means that:
number of possible combinations = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 = 2520 numbers
Hope this helps :)
He drinks 8 glasses of water in one day. to know the number of glasses he drinks in 365 days, simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of glasses per year = (365*8)/1 = 2920 glasses
so, yes his assumption is reasonable if he kept the same rate (8 glasses per day each day)
