<h2>Question </h2>

Perform each of the following computations using the measured quantities below.

Write your final answer with the correct number of significant figures in proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point).

a. 917.2 + 45.63 = ___________

b. 3.423 x 10^-4 - 6.42 x 10^-3 =_________

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 9.6 x 10²

(b) -6.1 x 10⁻³

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

(a) 917.2 + 45.63

<em>First add the two numbers as follows (ensure that the decimal numbers are well aligned);</em>

   9  1   7 . 2

+   <u>   4  5 . 6  3</u>

   <u>9  6 2  . 8  3</u>

<u></u>

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

962.83 = 9.6283 x 10²

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

9.6283 = mantissa

10 = base

² = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

9.6 x 10²

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is <em>9.6 x 10²</em>.

(b)  3.423 x 10⁻⁴ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

Find the difference between the two numbers as follows;

i. Re-write the numbers so that they both have the same exponents:

0.3423 x 10⁻³ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

ii. Factor out 10⁻³

10⁻³(0.3423 - 6.42)

iii. Solve the bracket

10⁻³(-6.0777)

iv. Rewrite the result in (iii)

-6.0777 x 10⁻³

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

-6.0777 x 10⁻³       [already in standard form]

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

-6.0777 = mantissa

10 = base

⁻³ = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

-6.1 x 10⁻³

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is -6.1 x 10⁻³.

Christine went shopping and bought each of her eighteight nephews a​ gift, either a video costing​ $14.95 or a CD costing​ $16.8
pogonyaev
So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18

Solve For 1/4 + 1/2 + x = - 3/4
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x= negitive 6/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok think about it 1/4 plus 1/2 is 3/4

so how do i go to negitives?

you double the amount of it and then minus it

because 3/4- 3/4 would be zero

so you have to double it to get that answer

have a wonderful day filled with only joy!

To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit
Elodia [21]
To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
