Okay, so keeping mind that the equation for area is A = L x W, look at the measurements you already have. 5.5 x 10^5 is the length, and 4.2 x 10^4 is the width. Switch them into full form and use a calculator to multiply the two for the area in meters.
550000 x 42000 = 23100000000, which in scientific form is 2.31 × 10^10. So that's answer one.
For the second, in kilometers, just take the full measurement you already have, 23100000000 m, transfer it into kilometers, 23100000 km, and then find its scientific notation, 2.31 × 10^7. That's answer two.
To answer the last question for which is more suitable, just consider what number you'd prefer to look at: a bigger number or a smaller one. Since the kilometer measurement number is smaller, its correct.
Summarily, the answers are 2.31 × 10^10, 2.31 × 10^7, and square kilometers, in that order.
Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.
Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.
2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.
21= 1,3,7,21
30= 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
common factors= 1,3
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If 6/18 of the cartons are vanilla that means that those are the odds of you picking a vanilla at random
6/18=1/3
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 slots on Spinner B.
3 of those slots have squares.
Hence out of all the slots, 3/8 of them have squares.
Hope this helps:) Goodluck!
