Answer:

When there are 108 presents, there are 60 candy canes

Step-by-step explanation:

candy canes : presents = 5:9

5/9 = x/108

cross multiply:

(5) (108) = 9x

540 = 9x, divide both sides by 9

x = 60

How might this number be shown on a calculator?<br> 5.31x1037 (37 is above 10)<br> [?]e[ ]

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$5.31E37$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$5.31 * 10^{37}$

Required

How it'd be displayed on a calculator

Standard calculators, today are built to always convert huge numbers or extremely small number to scientific notations;

This was done to allow the calculator fit each values on its screen

$5.31 * 10^{37}$ is such a big number that it'll require the calculator to display it using scientific notations;

So, basically we have to convert $5.31 * 10^{37}$ to scientific notaton;

This is achieved by replacing $*10^{37}$ with $E37$

So, $5.31 * 10^{37}$ is equivalent to $5.31E37$

erastovalidia [21]

Histograms are used to represent data, where the length of each bar represents the frequency of the data element

The histogram is not given; So, I will give a general explanation.

Assume that the number of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 450, while the total number of commuters surveyed is 500.

The percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is the quotient of the commuters that travel more than 45 minutes and the total number of surveyed commuters.

So, we have:

$\%Percentage = \frac{450}{500}$

Divide 450 by 500

$\%Percentage = 0.9$

Express as percentage

$\%Percentage = 90\%$

Hence, the percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 90%
