8.71 xx10^(12)
The exponent is a positive number. This means the decimal point moves to the right by the number of the exponent.
There are two digits to the right of the decimal point, so to move the decimal 12 places, you would need to add 10 zeros.
8.71 x 10^12 becomes 8,710,000,000,000.

The probability that a divisor of 2 or 9 is chosen when the spinner is spun once is 2/3.
<h3>What is the probability?</h3>
Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.
P(2 or divisor of 9) = section that has a divisor of 2/ total number of sections + section that has a divisor of 2/ total number of sections
1/3 + 1/ 3 = 2/3

<span>A quarter is equivalent to 25 cents or $0.25 and a nickel is equal to 5 cents or $0.05. In the given in this item, if there are x nickels then, there are x + 7 quarters. With these and the total amount known, we can now compute for the value of x.
(x)(0.05) + (x + 7)(0.25) = 2.65
Simplifying,
0.05x + 0.25x + 1.75 = 2.65
Simplifying further,
0.3x = 0.9
The value of x from the equation is 3. Hence, there are 10 quarters.</span>
