Answer:
b.
Use special characters like italics and underlining
Step-by-step explanation:
i took the test
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10
What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6
-------------- = 4 x 10^4
2.3 x 10²
Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.
Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.
9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230
920000/230=40000
40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation
Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.
Hey there!
D is the answer.
I was thinking it might be B but no one said the lines crossed each other.
Hope this helps, Jesus loves you!
