Answer:
3/4x-6=42
x=64
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of students be x hence 3/4 of this number will be 3/4x
Since the number was 42 if they were 3/4x less six, it means minus six hence
3/4x-6=42
Therefore, the equation will be
3/4x-6=42
Solving the equation
3/4 x=42+6=48
3/4x=48
X=62
Answer:
5 • 10^6
Step-by-step explanation:
When we talk about approximations, it is important to know that their purpose is not to find the correct value, only close enough that will do the job. We use them when we want to write something in a shortened way, to save time or when it's impossible to find precise value. Of course, our approximation won't be 100% precise, but it will be acceptable.
So, in this case, we are dealing with a population that is just above five million.
Milion (1 000 000) is a seven-digit number written with six zeros, so its power of ten will be 10^6 (ten to the power of six).
Since the population is around five million, we will approximate it to
5 • 10^6 (five times ten to the power of six)
Remember that you must change this number so that it is between 1 and 10, and then multiply it by a power of 10.
So first, you have to move the decimal point over 2 places to the right.
Since you are moving to the right, the exponent on ten will be negative; since you moved 2 decimal places, you know the exponent will be -2.
The answer is 6.3 x 10^-2.
Hope this helps!
