Multiplication and division with the powers of ten
So, when multiply powers of ten, all you have to do add up the powers.
The reverse goes when you are dividing. You would subtract the powers.
9 x 10^7 => 3 x 10^3
The words " how many times as large as " indicates that we are going to divide the two, making it look like this:
Divide the 9 by 3 you get 3
Then subtract 10^3 from 10^7
Therefore, the answer is 3 x 10^4, or A
The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.
In this question we must determine the correct volumes of each paint to obtain a 20 % gloss with paint by means of weighted averages:
(1)
Where:
If we know that ,
and
, then the proportion of the paint that is 30 % gloss is:
And the quantity of gallons needed of each paint are:
Paint (30 % gloss)
Paint (15 % gloss)
The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.
