Answer 5

im not quite sure, my teacher assisted me and told me that 0.0044 / 24.1 = 1.82 is wrong that it should be 0.0044 / 24.1 = 0.00018, how did he even get that? i think im supposed to apply ratios to this, but I do not know how to do a 2:1 ratio,

Answer 6

As a ratio, 0.0044 / 24.1 = 44 : 241000, which can be reduced if you prefer.

Answer 7

If you got something like "0.0044 / 24.1 = 1.82572" then it's possible that the answer was expressed in scientific notation. Did you see a "x10^-4" or "E-4" notation at the end of it?

Answer 8

1.8 x10^-4 would be the correct expression in scientific notation using the correct number of significant digits.
I still don't fully understand the question, though.

Answer 9
