Answer:
He will read 72 chapters in 1 day
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve this question
∵ Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours
∵ He continues to read at this same rate for 1 day
→ We must change the day to hours
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∴ We need to find how many chapters he will read in 24 hours
→ Chapter : Hour
→ 6 : 2
→ x : 24
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ x × 2 = 6 × 24
∴ 2x = 144
→ Divide both sides by 2
∵ =
∴ x = 72
∴ He will read 72 chapters in 1 day
3 ×
expressing as a whole number, using the digits available, we obtain
3
Now consider the position of the decimal point in the original 0.003
To get it back to where it should be we require to move the decimal point 3 places to the left , denoted by a negative exponent
0.003 = 3 ×
