Allen's work is not written properly so I have rearranged it as shown below:
Original problem) –8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7.
Step 1) −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
Step 2) −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
Step 3) −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
Step 4) −8.3 + 17.3
We can see that in step 1), Allen changed -4.4 into +4.4 using additive inverse. Notice that we are simplifying not eliminating -4.4 as we do in solving some equation. Hence using additive inverse is the wrong step.
Alen should have collect negative numbers together and positive numbers together.
Add the respective numbers then proceed to get the answer.
–8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7
= –8.3 – 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7
= -12.7 + 12.9
= 0.2
Answer:
I) 8.760 * 10 ³ hours
II) 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours
Step-by-step explanation:
1) No. of hours in one year:
24 hours* 365 days= 8760 hours
Scientific Notation= 8.760 * 10 ³ hours
2) 1 year = 31556952 seconds
1 hour=3600
1 year = 31556952 seconds/3600 = 8765. 82 hours
Scientific Notation= 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours
3) The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as 8.760* 10 ³ in scientific notation. But using the given data we get =8.76582 * 10 ³ hours
Comparing these answers the first one has only 3 significant figures
But the second answer has six significant figures if we round these we get 8.8 * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers
Aslo rounding the first gives 8.8 * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers and is the same as the other answer rounded
Um, I never learn this, sorry but I’m in online class
