What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10
What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6
-------------- = 4 x 10^4
2.3 x 10²
Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.
Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.
9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230
920000/230=40000
40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation
Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
12 kids played. 8 didn't play. That means there is a total of 20 students.
The fraction would be 12/20.
To make it into a percent, divide 100 by the denominator (20) and multiply it by the numerator (12)
100 divided by 20 is 5
12 x 5 = 60
4x-10=18
4x=18+10
4x=28
x=28/4
