Correct question is;

Consider the following operations on the number 8.85 x 10^(-2). Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 8.85 x 10^(-2), which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value.

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5)

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5)

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5)

D) 8.85 × 10^(-2) ÷ 6.69 × 10^(5)

Answer:

Option A & B yield essentially the same value.

Option C yields a significantly smaller value

Option D yields a significantly larger value

Step-by-step explanation:

Since given value for the operations is in 10^(-2) indices, then let's convert the operations numbers from 10^(5) indices to 10^(-2).

Thus;

6.69 × 10^(5) = (6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2)

Thus;

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) + ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 + (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

The 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) - ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 - (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

Again the 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same.

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) × ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 × (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we multiply 8.85 by 6.69 × 10^(-7), the value gotten will be way lower than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation will give a significantly smaller value.

D) (8.85 × 10-2) ÷ (6.69 × 10^5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) ÷ ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we carry out the operation:

8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7)), it is essentially equal to (8.85 × 10^(7))/6.69.

This means that the new value would be significantly larger than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation yields a significantly larger value.

A plumber charges a ​$70 flat rate for all home repairs. His hourly rate is​ $15 per half hour. How much would a 2 hour and 26 m
Gnesinka [82]

The plumber's 2 hour and 26 min plumbing bill​ cost is $73

What is the plumber's per minute rate?

The plumber's per minute rate is the per half-hour rate divided by 30 minutes since the plumber charges $15 for every 30-minute job

per-minute rate=$15/30

per-minute rate=$0.50

Now, let us convert 2hours and 26 minutes to minutes, in other words, every 1 hour is 60 minutes, the two hours equal 120 minutes plus the 26 minutes gives a total of 146 minutes

Total minutes=120 min+26 min

total minutes=146 minutes

Total plumbing bill cost for 146 minutes is $0.50, the per-minute rate multiplied by the number of minutes the plumber needs to work in this case

2 hour and 26 min plumbing bill​ cost=146*$0.50

2 hour and 26 min plumbing bill​ cost=$73
