The error that was made by Raquel when expressing $304,900,000,000$

is that she didn't count the digit correctly, The correct digit is $3 *10^{11}$

Raquel was trying to express the figure in standard form but she doesn't count the number of digit very well and that was her mistake

Standard form helps to represent digits that are very long or short in simple form and fir conveniency sake

Therefore, the correct expression in standard form is $3 * 10^{11}$

Plz help with 6,7,8 and 9

Reil [10]

Grayson's mistake was that he multiplied 4 and 3 and then used the exponent he had to square 3 and then multiply it by 4.

Emily's mistake was that she added 2 to 36 instead of multiplying it by -2

Pat's mistake was that he forget to make y into -2 instead of 2

The right way to do this is 4(3^2)+2(-2)
(3^2)=9 9×4=36 2(-2)=-4 -4+9=5

During a period of 30 working days, Deborah was late 80% of the time. How many days was she late?

erik [133]

Fairly straightforward question. She works 30 days and is late 80% or 0.8
We can model our equation
Num days late = late percentage * num working days
Basically fine portion of working days that she was late.

Num days late = 0.8 * 30=24

So Deborah was late 24 out of 30 working days. Would appreciate a brainliest
