The answer would be B: Dividing the number by 1000
Every time you move the decimal, add a zero. Since the decimal is moved three times, there are three zeroes. When you move left, the number is getting smaller so it is division.

- x = 50°
- x = 112°
- x = 119°
- x = 106°
- x = 46°
- x = 118°
㏒₂(5x + 3) = 3
2³ = 5x + 3 Cange the equation.
8 = 5x + 3 Multiphy 2 by itself three times.
- 3 - 3 Subtract 3 from each side.
5 = 5x
5 5 Divide it by 5
1 = x Find the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.
Thanks for posting. This made my evening.
