<span>6.5 x 10^6
To answer this question, you need to divide the mass of the sun by the mass of mercury. So
2.13525 x 10^30 / 3.285 x 10^23 = ?
To do the division, divide the mantissas in the normal fashion
2.13525 / 3.285 = 0.65
And subtract the exponents.
30 - 23 = 7
So you get
0.65 x 10^7
Unless the mantissa is zero, the mantissa must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than 10. So multiply the mantissa by 10 and then subtract 1 from the exponent, giving
6.5 x 10^6
So the sun is 6.5 x 10^6 times as massive as mercury.</span>
8/9 - 2/3 = 8/9 - 6/9 = 2/9 of a pound left
She had 8/9 of a pound of birdseed to begin with. She used 2/3 of a pound of birdseed into her feeders. You have to get a common denominator, would be 9 and when you subtract what she used from what she had you get 2/9 of a pound of birdseed left.
25 x 60 = 1500
10 x 60 = 600
The answer is 600
Let the original fraction be
Now let's increase both numerator and denominator by 2:
This produces a 1/12 increase:
The left hand side can be rearranged as
Invert both sides:
Solve the quadratic equation:
So, in the first case, the original fraction is
In the second case, we have
