Answer: The blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Weight of Blue whale = 
Weight of Narwhal = 
Number of times blue whale's weight is heavier than the narwhal's weight = 
![=\dfrac{3\times10^5}{2\times10^3}\\\\=1.5\times10^{5-3}\ \ \ [\dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\\=1.5\times10^2\\\\=1.5\times100=150](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Ctimes10%5E5%7D%7B2%5Ctimes10%5E3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes10%5E%7B5-3%7D%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Cdfrac%7Ba%5Em%7D%7Ba%5En%7D%3Da%5E%7Bm-n%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes10%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes100%3D150)
Hence, the blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.
It is 20 because the 5 is in the ones place so the 2 has to be in the 10 place which makes it 20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.
