Question

I put a screenshot, you do the math

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1.156 times 10^9

First we subtract the difference,

1,300,000,000 - 144,000,000 = 1156000000

Next, we find the number 1156000000 written in scientific notation.

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 115,600,000

New Number: 1.15600000

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number: 1 . 1 5 6 0 0 0 0 0

Decimal Count:   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

There are 8 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 1.156 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 8

Now the whole thing:

1.156 x 108

Step 4

Check your work:

108 = 100,000,000 x 1.156 = 115,600,000

Thus, 115,600,000 written in scientific notation is 1.156 times 10^9 estimated.

Answer 2

Answer:

= 1.156 × 10^9

(scientific notation)

= 1.156e9

(scientific e notation)

= 1.156 × 10^9

(engineering notation)

(billion; prefix giga- (G))

= 1156000000

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply subtract A from B = 1,156,000,000 and convert the answer to scientific notation.
