Answer:

A single sheet of paper should weigh: <u>0.00645 pound</u> or  6.45*10^{-3} (in scientific notation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3.225 (the weight of the ream of paper) by 500 (the amount of paper in a ream).

If you need the scientific notation form, simply move the decimal point/place right or left until you end up with a whole number that is between 1 and 10 (in this case, <u>3 times to the right</u>), then determine what power of 10 it should be, depending on the number of times you moved the decimal place (in this case, the power is <u>-3</u>).

The power/exponent is determined by the direction you have to move your decimal point, right=negative and left=positive. For example, if you started off with the number 6450, you would move the decimal point 3 times to the left and your power would be positive 3, which results in 6.45*10^{3}.

Hope this helps!

#9 - The Question
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.

We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.

__

The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...

   (126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6

Then Wendy must sell an additional ...

  (1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags

to increase her earnings to $126.
