Complete question :

On average, light emitted from the Sun takes 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach Earth. Using your approximated speed of light from part (b), as well as the equation distance = rate x time, calculate the approximate distance from the Earth to the Sun in meters. Write your answer in standard form and in scientific notation.

Answer:

1.497 * 10^8km

149700000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken = 8 minutes 19 seconds

Speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Distance from earth to sun :

Speed * time

(3 * 10^8) * ((8 * 60) + 19)

(3 * 10^8) * 499

= 1497 * 10^8 m or 1497 * 10^5 km = 1.497 * 10^8km

= 149700000000 m

= 149700000 km

= 1497

A particular type of mold is growing 9.7% per hour. Assuming that mold growth continues at this rate and there were 14,000 spore
nydimaria [60]

Total mold spores at end of 9.30 am is 26901.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of molds = 14000

Rate = 9.7% per hour

Number of hours = 12 am to 9.30 am =  9\frac{1}{2} hours

Growth of mold = 14000 * 9.7% * 9\frac{1}{2}

                            = 12901

Total mold spores at end of 9.30 am = 14000 + 12901

                                                                = 26901

Hence, the expected number of mold spores at 9.30 am is 26901.

How do I answer this math problem?
olchik [2.2K]
When exponents are separated by a parenthesis it means you need to add them. Because the parenthesis is around the entire number then you raise everything inside the parenthesis to the outside exponent. Then anything raised by 0 as an exponent is automatically 1.


You think of this visually as 3a*3a*3a= 27a^9 is your answer
