so would that be omg I do not know

Answer 3

hmm u dont have to put x with 0.05 as u have made x the subject and u wrote it wrong
its
(n+98.65)/.05=x
where n is 1.5

ok I did this question but I want to check my work
4.3 x 10^5
--------------
6.2 x 10^7
divide 4.3/6.2 I get .69
then .69 x 10^2
then I get 69

it is wanting the total family networth dollars in this would it be 690,000

Answer 7

for 1 year

Answer 8

\[\frac{ 4.3 * 10^{5} }{ 6.2 *10^{7} }\]
\[\frac{ 10^{5} }{ 10^{7}}\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 10^{2} }\]

Answer 9

can you see your mistake?

Answer 10

how did you get the 1/10^2, I got the 10^2 but from what I read it is saying to take the decinmal on the .69 over 2

Answer 11

then can u tell me how you got 10^2?

Answer 12

10^7-10^5

Answer 13

ok and is 10^7 is in denominator or numerator?

Answer 14

anyone else want to help I appreicate it I have been doing this math now for 9 hours and still have a lot of problem to go

Answer 15

numerator I believe

Answer 16

hmm well see the question again 10^7 is in denominator.

Answer 17

How do you get this math i am going crazy trying to figure it out

Answer 18

lol nothing much just use of brain :P

Answer 19

oh so when it is at bottom you will put a 1/10^2

Answer 20

yes.. and then?

Answer 21

so did I do the first portaion right with 4.3/6/2

Answer 22

yes that was right.

Answer 23

ok so if you have the .69 you would have 69/1 then?

Answer 24

or 1/69

Answer 25

hmmm why dont u bring 1/10^2 above means liek this
0.69 * 10^-2
)or u can write
(69/10) * (1/10^2)

Answer 26

I want to thank you for helping me, I did all of the homewerk for these and did well but when it came to the test for the first 8 weeks I was lost, I printed all of the questions on the test and also printed all of the chapters and I am still lost

Answer 27

you lost me on the 1/10^2

Answer 28

well it's not hard.. u just need more practise.. u should solve all these questions agian yourself without any help..

Answer 29

so to get my answer I would take the e1/10*2 then times that with the 6.9

Answer 30

yes and it's 0.69 not 6.9 :P if i am nto wrong :p

Answer 31

yes you are correct, so that would be 1/10*2=.1*2*.69 right

Answer 32

so I came out with .0069

Answer 33

yes that should be
