Answer:
3.5×10^4=35000
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the value
3.5
we are saying that we are counting in units (1's) in that we have

So if we are counting in 100's then the decimal point stays where
it is and we move the number of 3.5 to the left until the
3 becomes hundreds.
Note that we have to insert a place holder of 0 just to the left of the decimal point to make sure the three is viewed as in the hundreds.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
1 inch : 18 kilometers
Let us use the ratio and proportion method:
a:b = c:d where ad = bc
0.8 inches is <u>14.4 kilometers</u>
1 : 18 = 0.8 : x
x = 0.8 * 18
x = 14.4 km
1.4 inches is <u>25.2 kilometers</u>
1: 18 = 1.4 : x
x = 18 * 1.4
x = 25.2 km
2.1 inches is <u>37.8 kilometers</u>
1 : 18 = 2.1 : x
x = 18 * 2.1
x = 37.8 km
The length will be 3 because of the altitude
