Question

convert 8.987 decades to min

Answer 1

1 decade = 10 years

Answer 2

1 year = how many days ?

Answer 3

365

Answer 4

good, no ambiguity there, :)

Answer 5

Unless you want to take into account leap years, which gets messy.

Answer 6

dimensional analysis now

Answer 7

yeah @ganeshie8 so whats after 1 year=365 days

Answer 8

\(8.987 \) decades

Answer 9

nvm i got it now i'll let you know my final answer when i figure it out

Answer 10

\(8.987 \) \( decades\) x \(\frac{10 years}{1 decade}\)

Answer 11

\(8.987 \) \( decades\) x \(\frac{10 years}{1 decade}\) x \(\frac{365 days}{1 year}\)

Answer 12

\(8.987 \) \( decades\) x \(\frac{10 years}{1 decade}\) x \(\frac{365 days}{1 year}\) x \(\frac{24hours}{1 day}\)

Answer 13

yeah sooo my final answer is 47235672

Answer 14

\(8.987 \) \( decades\) x \(\frac{10 years}{1 decade}\) x \(\frac{365 days}{1 year}\) x \(\frac{24hours}{1 day}\) x \(\frac{60 mnts}{1 hour}\)

Answer 15

all units cancel out, except mnts ha ?, so lets see if i get the same answer as urs :)

Answer 16

okay and yeah i did cancle all the units except min

Answer 17

\(8.987 \) \( \cancel{decades}\) x \(\frac{10 \cancel{years}}{1 \cancel{decade}}\) x \(\frac{365 \cancel{days}}{1 \cancel{year}}\) x \(\frac{24\cancel{hours}}{1 \cancel{day}}\) x \(\frac{60 mnts}{1 \cancel{hour}}\)

Answer 18

we just multiply together the numbers nw

Answer 19

8.987 x 10 x 365 x 24 x 60

Answer 20

all this work you showing is very confusing i know how to do it but is my answer right?

Answer 21

i get 47235672

Answer 22

good work !

Answer 23

one thing,

Answer 24

good :) how can we make that number short

Answer 25

ya thats what ima say, we can convert it to scientific notation

Answer 26

which will; be ?

Answer 27

\(47235672 minutes = 4.7235672 \times 10^7 minutes\)

Answer 28

4.7 is less than 47235672,

in scientific notation, we always convert a number to a short nmber between (1-10)

and use 10 powers for the exponent

Answer 29

i see u already knw these things and comfortable wid doing these ur way :)

Answer 30

yeah but still what will be my final answer in scientific notation??

Answer 31

above i wrote it

Answer 32

after ur ,

which will; be ?

response

Answer 33

soo 4.7235672x10^7

Answer 34

thats right !

Answer 35

thnaks :))

Answer 36

dont forget to put the unit minutes in the end :)

Answer 37

yeah i know thanks
