Answer:

2.09 × 10¹⁰ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The American chemical industry produces more than 9.5 million metric tons of sodium carbonate.

in this problem we have to calculate the amount in pounds of sodium carbonate are produced annually.

so we will convert the amount of 9.5 million metric tons to pounds.

Since in  1 metric ton = 2204.62 pounds

Hence,  9,500,000 metric ton = 2204.62 × 9,500,000

                                                 = 20943890000 pounds

                                                 = 2.09 × 10¹⁰ pounds

2.09 × 10¹⁰ pounds of sodium carbonate are produced annually.

Lemur [1.5K]
We know that 4 and below rounds down and 5 and above round up

That means she walked 3.5 miles   her sister walked 1.2 miles

and her brother walked 0.9 miles

1.2+0.9=2.1 

3.5-2.1=1.4

B about 1.4 miles

Is my graph correct? <br><br> And what is the range of the function above?
Tomtit [17]

Graph is incorrect.

Find points (x,y)

If x=#, what does y=?

Example:

Y=5x+4

Y=5•0+4

Y=0+4

Y=4

Points:

(0,4)

(-1,1)

(-2,-6)

Also, only draw the line in areas where x≤0

Meaning nothing should be on the right half of the square.

The range means what Y values are possible?

When draw properly, with nothing on the right half, the highest Y value will be 4.

So, the range is y≤4

Help please I don't understand this

To get rid of the 2/5 next to the g, multiply both sides by the RECIPROCAL of 2/5, which would be 5/2.
The answer is g=15/10, which simplifies to g=1 5/10 and then further simplifies (wow so much simplifying) to get g=1 1/2.
