When a number is written in a scientific notation,how can you tell right away whether or not it is greater than or equal to 1?

6 0

You can tell with the exponent , if the exponent is a positive the notation will be greater than or equal to zero. Think of it as a number line as you go left it becomes less than zero, as it goes right it because greater than or equal to zero. If the exponent is positive it will go to the right and if the exponents is negative it will go to the left. Hope this help !

You find yourself with 17 guilders( a gold coin) but you are planning on taking a trip to a country where the local currency is

3241004551 [841]

We are given

The current exchange rate is 2 guilders for every 3 florins

so,

2 guilders = 3 florins

now, we can find for 1 guilders

so, we get

$1guilders=\frac{3}{2} florins$

now, we can multiply both sides by 17

$17\times 1guilders=17\times \frac{3}{2} florins$

now, we can simplify it

$17guilders=25.5florins$

so, option-A........Answer

larisa [96]

Complete question is;

Ilona is at a friends home that is several miles from her home. She starts walking at a constant rate in a straight line toward her home.

The expression -2t + 10 gives the distance, in miles, that Ilona is from her home after t hours. Select True or False for each of the following.

1. The friends home is 10 miles from Ilonas home

2. The distance Ilona has walked away from her friends home after t hours is given by the absolute value of -2t

3.The negative sign in the term indicates that Ilona is walking toward her home

4. Ilona is walking at a rate of 10 miles per hour

Answer:

Statements 1 & 2 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the expression -2t + 10 gives the distance, in miles, that Ilona is from her home after t hours.

Now, we know that distance = speed x time

Now, from the expression -2t + 10

It's clear that 2t is a distance value.

This means that the speed used in going home is 2 miles/hr

This means that at t hours, she has walked 2t miles from her friends home.

Thus, statement 2 is true because an absolute value of -2t will be 2t.

Since 2t is subtracted from 10 in the expression and 2t is the distance she has walked from her friends house at Time, t. It means that 10 miles is the distance from her friends house to her house.

Thus, statement 1 is also true
