Jordan was asked to convert 345,000,000 to scientific notation. His response was 34.5*10^7. His teacher told him he was incorrec
mel-nik [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific notation of any number is given by :

N=a\times 10^b

a is any real no and b is any integer

The scientific notation of 345,000,000 should be 3.45\times 10^8 but Jorden wrote 34.5×10⁷. He is incorrect. He should have shifted decimal before 4 such that power of 10 becomes 8.

Subtract and write out in minutes and seconds 87 seconds from 100 seconds
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

  00:13  mm:ss

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute. This fact can be used to convert the time period(s) to minutes and seconds either before or after you do the subtraction.

<h3>Difference</h3>

It is often convenient to do arithmetic with all of the numbers having the same units. Here, we are given two values in seconds and asked for their difference.

  100 s - 87 s = (100 -87) s = 13 s

The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.

<h3>Conversion</h3>

If you like, the numbers can be converted to minutes and seconds before the subtraction. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the number of minutes is found by dividing seconds by 60. The remainder is the number of seconds that will be added to the time in minutes:

  87 seconds = ⌊87/60⌋ minutes + (87 mod 60) seconds

  = 1 minute 27 seconds

  100 seconds = ⌊100/60⌋ minutes + (100 mod 60) seconds

  = 1 minute 40 seconds

Then the difference is found in the same way we would find a difference involving different variables. (A unit can be treated as though it were a variable.)

  (1 min 40 s) -(1 min 27 s) = (1 -1 min) + (40-27 s) = 0 min 13 s

The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.

A proper fraction is converted to a decimal equivalent by dividing the denominator into the numerator. True
kondaur [170]

False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.

For example, to evaluate \frac{8}{15} you divide 8 by 15:

\dfrac{8}{15} = 8\div 15 = 0.5\overline{3}

7y+9+y=17

8y=17-9

8y=8

y=1

4x=7*1+9

4x=16

x=16/4

x=4
