Answer:
4.802 x 10^7
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal place one number in from the furthest to the right, which is the four. Then count how many digits there is to the right of it, that is your power of ten. The decimal will not come after only a zero. I don't know how well I can explain it but that is the right answer.

Answer:
(a) x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
(b) youngest: 7 years old
middle: 9 years old
oldest: 11 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
We know that x is the youngest child's age. Since the sisters' ages are consecutive odd integers, we know that the ages differ by 2. So, the middle sister's age is x + 2 and the oldest sister's age is x + 4.
Our equation to model the sentence "the sum of the age of the youngest and three times the age of the oldest is five less than five times the middle sister's age" would be:
x + 3 * (x + 4) = 5 * (x + 2) - 5
x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
(b)
Now, we can just solve the equation above:
x + 3(x + 4) = 5(x + 2) - 5
x + 3x + 12 = 5x + 10 - 5
4x + 12 = 5x + 5
x = 12 - 5 = 7
So, the youngest sister is 7 years old.
That means the middle sister is 7 + 2 = 9 years old, and the oldest sister is 9 + 2 = 11 years old.
The ages, then, are:
youngest: 7 years old
middle: 9 years old
oldest: 11 years old
