Answer:

smaller number - 7

greater number - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = smaller number

a + 1 = greater number

the following equation can be derived from the question

(5 x a) = 3 + 4(a + 1)

5a = 3 + 4a + 4

5a = 7 + 4a

5a - 4a = 7

a = 7 = smaller number

a + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8 = greater number

How many times greater is<br> 3.8 x 105<br> than<br> 1.9 X 1022<br> 2<br> 20<br> 200<br> 2000
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

there must be something wrong with your text.

what we can see is

3.8 × 105

and

1.9 × 1022

the true answer for these values has nothing to do with the 4 answer options.

maybe you meant

1.9 × 10.5 ?

because that answer would be 20.

but first working with the presented numbers :

3.8 × 105 = 399

1.9 × 1022 = 1941.8

so, the second number is actually much bigger than the first number.

but if it is

1.9 × 10.5 = 19.95

that works.

and we can either use the calculator to calculate

399 / 19.95 = 20

or we can simply look at the factor changes of the multiplication terms.

3.8 = 1.9 × 2

105 = 10.5 × 10

so, the multiplication product of the two larger numbers is then 2×10=20 times larger than the product of the 2 smaller numbers.

To determine how much will it take to clean a 120ft driveway considering that it took him 2hs to clear 10ft and that the cleaning rate is constant, you can use cross multiplication:

10ft______2hs

120ft_____xhs

If the cleaning rate is the same, then the ratios between both are the same:

\frac{2}{10}=\frac{x}{120}

From this expression, you can determine the time by multiplying both sides of the equal sign by 120

\begin{gathered} 120(\frac{2}{10})=\frac{120x}{120} \\ 24=x \end{gathered}

It will take him 24 hours to clear the 120ft driveway.
