Answer:
189 students
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2/9 = 6th grade
- 2/9 = 42 students
- So therefore, 2/9 = 42/x
- Let's break down the equation above. The original fraction is 2/9. The numerator represents the 6th grade students, and the denominator represents the total number of students in the school. So, if we expand that to actual numbers in the school, it would be 42 over the total number of students in the school (represented by x).
- Let's solve it now in the steps below
- Write out the equation:
- Cross multiply, then divide: 9 × 42 = 378, 378 ÷ 2 = 189
- So, the total students in the school are 189 students.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both numbers are integers (not fractions)
if you write an integer in scientific notation:
1) inset a comma between first and second digit (3.70000000)
2) calculate all digits on the right side of insetting comma (there are 8 digits after a comma: 7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
3) a fraction from point 1) you multiply by 10 to the power, which is equal to a number of digits after comma (8)
4) according this tips, you have
5) for a better notation, you may remove ending zeros
