1. 9.355 × can be used to express the age of the dinosaur fossil.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; To determine which value is the closest to 93,550,000 we must calculate how much the 4 options equal. If there are decimals in the number, they are moved from the decimal part of the number to the integer part with every power of 10 i.e. 2.4 × 10 = 24, 2.44 × 10² = 244.
Step 2; Now we determine how much the 4 options equal.
1. 9.355 × = 93,550,000.
2. 9 × = 90,000,000.
3. 9.36 × = 93,600,000.
4. 9.3 × = 93,000,000.
Out of the four options, option 1 equals the value of 93,550,000. So option 1 can be used to express the age with the highest precision.
Step-by-step explanation:
We get two equations here. One for the area and one for the perimeter. The area gives us x×y=50. The perimeter, if we have a rectangle, x+y+x+y=30=2x+2y. For this to work we need to make a simple expression for x or y. Let's go with x here. 2x+2y=30 so x=15-y. if we fill that in the other equation we get (15-y)×y=50 (see picture). y=5 or y=10. If we fill in x×5=50 we get x=10 and vice versa. So the dimensions are 5 centimeters by 10 centimeters
