The number of cans that can be recycled in 16 days, written in scientific notation is 2.6 x 10⁹.

<h3>What are Scientific notations?</h3>

The way through which a very small or a very large number can be written in shorthand. In scientific notations when a number between 1 and 10s is multiplied by a power of 10.

For example, 6,500,000,000,000 can be written as 6.5x 10¹².

Given to us

Average 113,204 aluminum cans are recycled in a minute.

Firstly, in order to find the number of cans that can be recycled in 16 days, we need to find the number of minutes in 16 days. we know that 1 day has 24 hours where each hour has 60 minutes. therefore,

Number of minutes in 16 days = 16 x 24 x 60

Number of minutes in 16 days = 23,040 minutes

As it is given that on an average 113,204 number of cans can be recycled in a minute, therefore,

Total number of can that can be recycled = 113,204 x 23,040

                                                                      = 2,608,220,160

                                                                       = 2.6 x 10⁹

Hence, the number of cans that can be recycled in 16 days, written in scientific notation is 2.6 x 10⁹.

The sum of two consecutive ODD integers is -76. Find the integers.​
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

First number: -39

Second number: -37

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd number can be written as 2n+1 where n is a whole number.

Let's call our first number 2n+1.

Our second, consecutive number will be 2 more than our first number, since it has to be odd. All numbers go: odd -> even -> odd -> even. If we have an odd number, and add 2, we'll get the next odd number.

First number: 2n+1

Second number: 2n+1+2 = 2n+3

The sum of these two numbers, 2n+1 and 2n+3 will be -76.

(2n+1) + (2n+3) = -76

2n + 2n + 1 + 3 = -76

4n + 4 = -76

4n = -80

n = -20

Since our first number is 2n+1:

2 * (-20) + 1 = -40 + 1 = -39

First number: -39

Our second number is 2n+3, or 2 more than our first number.

-39 + 2 = -37

Second number: -37

We can double check this:

-39 + (-37) = -39 - 37 = -76

6. Craig and James both live 4 miles up a hill. Craig hikes uphill at a rate of 1 mile every two hours.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

James

Step-by-step explanation:

James rate:

2x + 2 = 4

2x = 2

x = 1 hour

Rate = distance/time = 4/1 = 4 miles per hour

Craig's rate = 1/2 = 0.5 miles per hour

James is faster

Boris has 20 Cd's in his music collection. Given that 20% of the CD's are rock music and 60% of them are pop music. How many CD'
kow [346]
The total amount of CD's are 100% so 100 - (20+60) = 20% -> the percentage of the other types of music. Then multiply 20% by 20 to get 4. So there are 4 CD's that are other types of music
