During a study, he finds that 12 out of 32 deer were affected by parasites. How many of the 1200 deer in the local population would he expect to be affected by parasites?
Answer:
450
We have been given an expression 
. We are asked to find the solution to our given expression expressed as scientific notation.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property 
, we will get:
Now to write our answer in scientific notation, we need our 1st multiple between 1 and 10. So we will rewrite our expression as:
Therefore, our required solution would be .
The frog's jump represent a geometric series.
The sum of finite geometric series can be solved using the equation:
Sn = ao ( (1-r^n)/(1-r) )
Plugging in the values,
S8 = 1 ( (1-2^8)/(1-2) )
S8 = 255
Therefore, after 8 hops, the frog will have traveled 255 inches
