Answer:
7.789×10^-2 = 0.07789 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can find the difference of the two given diameters and express it in any format you like.
The attached image of a calculator display shows the difference of the cell diameters is 0.07789 = 7.789×10^-2 cm.
__
The difference of two numbers with different exponents is found by first adjusting the exponents so they are the same. Here, we choose to adjust both numbers so they have the highest exponent value.
8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3
= 8.39×10^-2 - 0.601×10^-2 = (8.39 -0.601)×10^-2 = 7.789×10^-2
Alternatively, you can convert both numbers to standard form and do the subtraction that way.
8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3
= 0.0883 -0.00601 = 0.07789

<em>Additional comment</em>
The second attachment shows the relationship between place values and their multiplier in scientific notation.
__
The choice of exponent when computing the sum or difference of numbers in scientific notation is usefully informed by an estimate of the value of the sum or difference. A proper choice can avoid the need to adjust the exponent of the result of the operation. Here, we see the subtraction will change the larger value by less than 10%, so the exponent of the result in scientific notation will be that of the larger value (-2).
I dont know man you gotta ask a question
Answer is a idk the math teacher is not a teacher or teacher that she is going through so I am going
Answer:
a.114.4kg
b. 486kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly , we want to know the value with which the apples weigh more than the oranges
To calculate this, we simply subtract the weight of the oranges from that of the apple
Mathematically, that would be ;
300.2-185.8 = 114.4kg
The total weight of the things bought is calculated by adding both weights together
That would be 185.8 + 300.2 = 486 kg
154 divided by 2
Answer = x = 77
