Answer:
- same: 30×40 = 1200
- different: 20×50 = 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product
Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product
__
Same: 0.3×0.4 = 0.12 . . . . no zeros in the factors; no zeros in the product
Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point
_____
For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.
<u>Example</u>: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.
__
For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Here, the term "mantissa" is used to refer to the portion of the number written in scientific notation that multiplies the power of 10.
Answer:
first collect the like terms so that you have -4x is equals to -2 - 26 then negative 4x is equals to -28 divided by -4x is equals to 7
2xy, -xy, and 1/2xy because they contain the same variables
Answer:27 divided by 3 to get 9 or add 3 repetitively to get 27 or 3x=27
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
rate of the plane in still air is 33 miles per hour and the rate of the wind is 11 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We will make a table of the trip there and back using the formula distance = rate x time
d = r x t
there
back
The distance there and back is 264 miles, so we can split that in half and put each half under d:
d = r x t
there 132
back 132
It tells us that the trip there is with the wind and the trip back is against the wind:
d = r x t
there 132 = (r + w)
back 132 = (r - w)
Finally, the trip there took 3 hours and the trip back took 6:
d = r * t
there 132 = (r + w) * 3
back 132 = (r - w) * 6
There's the table. Using the distance formula we have 2 equations that result from that info:
132 = 3(r + w) and 132 = 6(r - w)
We are looking to solve for both r and w. We have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so we will solve the first equation for r, sub that value for r into the second equation to solve for w:
132 = 3r + 3w and
132 - 3w = 3r so
44 - w = r. Subbing that into the second equation:
132 = 6(44 - w) - 6w and
132 = 264 - 6w - 6w and
-132 = -12w so
w = 11
Subbing w in to solve for r:
132 = 3r + 3(11) and
132 = 3r + 33 so
99 = 3r and
r = 33
