Answer:
a; 3.45 * 10^3
b) 2.34 * 10^18
c) 80%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3450 in standard form
To write in standard form, we have to place a decimal at the back of the first non-zero number
we have this as ;
3.450
The count of numbers after the decimal point is 3
This will be the power to which 10 will be raised
We have this as;
3.45 * 10^3
b) 234 * 10^16
Let us write 234 in standard form
That will be;
234 = 2.34 * 10^2
So we have ;
2.34 * 10^2 * 10^16
Using the law of indices, we have;
2.34 * 10^(2 + 16) = 2.34 * 10^18
c) From the question, Kuwait is 4/5 of Hong kong’s population
Let Honk Kong’s population be x
4/5 * x = 2.4 million
4x = 5 * 2.4 million
x = 5 * 2.4/4
x = 5 * 0.6
x = 3 million
so writing the population of Kuwait as a percentage of that of Hong kong, we have
2.4/3 * 100%
= 0.8 * 100% = 80%
