If you're comparing 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm to 1.435 * 10^3 mm, then the more reasonable measurement is 1.435 * 10^3 mm since,
1.435 * 10^3 mm = 1435 mm = 1.435 meters
1 meter is about 3.28 feet approximately
So 1.435 meters is slightly larger (about 4.708 feet) which is a fairly reasonable distance between the tracks on a railroad.
-------------------
Something like 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm is equal to 0.001435 mm, which is far less than 1 mm.
Answer:
solve using long division.
75/4
what is the largest whole number smaller than 75 that 4 can go into?
72.
how many times can 4 go into 72?
18.
so then subtract 72 from 75 to get 3.
the new equation is
3/4
how many times can 3 go into 4?
0.75 times.
so add the 2 answers to get
18.75
4 can go into 75 18.75 times.
