Answer:
The cost of the system is $163 and The cost of the games is $489
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ A video game system and several games are sold for $652
∵ The cost of the games is 3 times as much as the cost of the system
→ Assume that the cost of the system is $x
∵ The cost of the system = x
∴ The cost of the games = 3 × x = 3x
∵ The total cost of the system and the games = 652
→ Equate the sum of the cost of the system and the cost of the games
by 652
∴ x + 3x = 652
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∴ 4x = 652
→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x
∵
∴ x = 163
∵ The cost of the system = x
∴ The cost of the system is $163
∵ The cost of the games = 3x
∴ The cost of the games = 3(163) = 489
∴ The cost of the games is $489
Answer:
I) There are hours in 1 year.
II) The exact number of hours in one year is hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 1 hour=3600 seconds
1 year = 31556952 seconds.
To find :
I) Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year.
1 day = 24 hours
1 year = 365 days
So, number of hours in one year is given by,
In scientific notation,
So, there are hours in 1 year.
II) 1 year = 31556952 seconds.
1 hour = 3600 seconds
In one year the number of hour is given by,
In scientific notation,
So, the exact number of hours in one year is hours.
III) In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences.
- The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as
in scientific notation but using the given data we get
hours.
- Comparing these answers the first one has only 3 significant figures and the second answer has six significant figures.
- If we round these we get
hours which has two significant numbers.
