What's the percentages?? I need to know that first
(7.2 × 10^7) ÷ (9 × 10^4)
= (7.2 / 9) x 10^(7 - 4)
= 0.8 x 10^3
= 8 x 10^2
Answer
C. 8 × 10^2
Answer:
farmers market sold 4/9 plums in bushel
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that at the beginning of the day we have 7/9 of a bushel of plums and that after a while there are 1/3 of a bushel of plums, so to calculate how many were sold we have to subtract the bushel of plums that were left from the initial ones
7/9 - 1/3
if we want to do this subtraction we have to find a fraction equivalent to 1/3 that can be subtracted from 7/9
1/3 = (1 * 3) / (3 * 3) = 3/9
now we are just the top and leave the denominator the same as before
7/9 - 3/9 = 4/9
The answer should be 16 M
