Answer:

2.4\times 10^6=24\times 10^5

Reason :

When in a decimal number the decimal shifted right the exponent of 10 is decreased by the number of shifting while if it is shifted left the exponent of 10 is increased by the number of shifting,

Why ?

2.4\times 10^6 =\frac{24}{10}\times 10^6=24\times 10^{-1}\times 10^6=24\times 10^{-1+6}=24\times 10^5

( By using a^m = \frac{1}{a^{-m}} and a^m.a^n=a^{m+n} )

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

10^6=1,000,000\\ \\10^5=100,000

Then

2.4\times 10^6=2.4\times 1,000,000=2,400,000\\ \\24\times 10^5=24\times 100,000=2,400,000

As you can see, the results are the same, so

2.4\times 10^6=24\times 10^5

This means that two given expressions are equivalent.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

3 gulps

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, f(x) = 3. Plug this into the equation:

3 = -3x + 12

Solve for x:

3 - 12 = -3x + 12 - 12

-9 = -3x

-9 / -3 = -3x / -3

3 = x

3 gulps

During summer vacation, Tori read, on average, 40 pages per night. Now that she has returned to school, she is averaging 5% fewe
STatiana [176]

Answer: 38 pages per night

Step-by-step explanation:

Tori used to read an average of 40 pages per night but now she is going at a rate that is 5% slower.

To find the number of pages she is reading now, first find 5% of 40 pages:

= 5% * 40

= 2

Then subtract this figure from 40:

= 40 - 2

= 38 pages per night

<em>By deducting 5% from the reading quantity, the person is reading at 5% less. </em>
