Answer:

His 55 kg of cement is 5 kg short of the 60 kg he needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be a ratio useful in determining how much of each ingredient Henry needs:

4/8 of the mix is cement, 3/8 is sand and 1/8 is gravel.

4/8 of the total 120 kg must then be 60 kg made up of cement;

3/8                                 must then be 45 kg made up of sand; and

1/8                                   must then be 15 kg made up of gravel

His 55 kg of cement is 5 kg short of the 60 kg he needs.

Express the number in scientific notation. 780,000,000
Aloiza [94]
Scientific notation implies that all the zeros are taken away and replaced with a 10 raised to whatever appropriate power would be necessary to make the number in scientific notation equal to the original number.

In the number 780,000,000, we can see that there are 7 zeros, but the number before the zeros has two digits, so we need to tuck the decimal point in there, because the number has to be between 1 and 10 for math reasons.

7.8 ... but what do we raise it to? We know it has to be 10, but to what power? Well, we just count how many places to the left the decimal point has traveled. From the original number, the decimal point shifted 8 places to the left, so that is the number that we will raise the 10 to.

The final number looks like this:

7.8 * 10^8

780,000,000 in scientific notation is <span>7.8 * 10^8
