Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.

The path of a model rocket can be represented by the equation h(t)=-t2+15t+16, where h(t) is the height, in feet, of the rocket

Musya8 [376]

The height is 52 feet.

Using t=3, we have:
-3² + 15(3) + 16 = -9 + 45 + 16 = 52

The capacity of the milk pitcher on the counter is 9/10 liter each one pitcher has3/8 of milk in it and the other pitcher has 5/

KatRina [158]

Answer:

57/80L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the capacity (i.e maximum possible volume) of a pitcher is 9/10L

1st Pitcher is 3/8 full of milk

Hence Vol of milk in 1st pitcher = 9/10 x 3/8 = 27/80L

2nd Pitcher is 5/12 full of milk

Hence Vol of milk in 2nd pitcher = 9/10 x 5/12 = 3/8 = 30/80L

Total volume = 27/80 + 30/80 = 57/80L

Seed mixture X is 40 percent ryegrass and 60 percent bluegrass by weight; seed mixture Y is 25 percent ryegrass and 75.percent f

irinina [24]

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the weight of the mixture to be 100g**, then the weight of ryegrass in the mixture would be 30g.

Also, assume the weight mixture X used in the mixture is Xg, then the weight of mixture Y used in the mixture would be (100-X)g.

So we can now equate the parts of the ryegrass in the mixture as:

0.4X + 0.25(100-X) = 30

<=> 0.4X + 25 - 0.25X = 30

<=> 0.15X = 5

<=> X = 5/0.15 = 500/15 = 100/3

So the weight of mixture X as a percentage of the weight of the mixture

= (weight of X/weight of mixture) * 100%

= (100/3)/100 * 100%

= 33%
