<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =5\times 10^3

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =6\times 10^3

Subtraction:

a=7\times 10^5 \\ \\ b=2\times 10^5 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a-b=7\times 10^5-2\times 10^5 \\ \\ =(7-2)\times 10^5 \\ \\ =5\times 10^5

x^2+2x+2x+4

x(x+2)+2(x+2)

(x+2)(x+2)

100x^2+20x+1

100x^2+10x+(10x+1)

10(10x+1)+(10x+1)

(10x+1)(10x+1)=(x+2)(x+2)

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The result is

\frac{5}{2}

Or

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify

\frac{5}{8}  \times 4

We know that 4 goes into 8 twice.

This implies that:

\frac{5}{8}  \times 4 =  \frac{5}{2}

We can convert the result into decimals as follows:

\frac{5}{2}  =  \frac{25}{10}  = 2.5
