The exponent tells you if the term is a large number or small number
To write a small number (between 0 and 1) in scientific notation, you move the decimal to the right and the exponent will have to be negative, as in the following example. You may notice that the decimal point was moved five places to the right until you got to the number 4, which is between 1 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you are 7 and a half miles away, and you drive 30 miles per hour, you need to take 7.5 and divide it by it by 30 and you get 0.25, you then need to find what is a quarter (0.25) of 60 minutes, and you will find that it is 15 minutes.
So:
Answer:
The route will take 15 minutes to get to work taking the back roads.

The total scores of the x students from class A can be calculated by multiplying x and the average which is equal to 85. That is 85x.
In similar manner, we are able to find for the total scores of the students from Class B. That would be, 90y.
Combining the scores, the new average then becomes 88. This is equal to,
(85x + 90y) / (x + y ) = 88
Cross-multiplying,
85x + 90y = 88x + 88y
Combine all the x's and y's in each side of the equation.
85x - 88x = 88y - 90y
Combining terms,
-3x = -2y
The ratio is obtained through the step below,
-3x/-3y = -2y/-3y
x/y = 2/3
Thus, the ratio is 2/3.
Nine billion, three million, eight hundred forty thousand, one hundred sixty five
