Answer:

Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of 1-inch paperclip = 1.6\times 10^{-5} miles

Number of paperclips used to reach the moon = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Total distance from the moon = Number of paper clips used × Length of one clip

= (1.5 × 10¹⁰) × (1.6 × 10⁻5)

= (1.5 × 1.6) (10¹⁰× 10⁻⁵)

= 2.4 × 10⁽¹⁰⁻⁵⁾ miles

= 2.4 × 10⁵ miles

Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles.

3 Questions Math! HELP!!!
Sveta_85 [38]
1) Since the larger number is a negative, you’re going to get a negative solution for number one. An easy way to do the math is to ignore the negative sign in (-116) For a moment. And subtract 56 from it.
116 - 56 = 60. Don’t forget to place the negative sign we pushed to this side before the solution. The answer is -60.

2) We do the same thing we did in number one, but with new numbers. The answer in total is -178.

3. As stated, we do the same thing we did in number one. Just because there’s a decimal doesn’t change much. And your answer would be -1.1
