<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Remember that
Thus, we can solve for x.
x + 22 = 90 - (2x - 7)
x + 22 = 97 - 2x
3x + 22 = 97
3x = 75
x = 25
Quotient is the result of division. Assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's make it x. Write the statement as an equation.
x/5 - 10 = 3
solve for x
x/5 - 10 = 3
x/5 = 3 + 10
x/5 = 13
x = 5 × 13
x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:
9 * 44 =
9 (40 + 4) =
9(40) + 9(4) =
360 + 36 = 396
