please answer! Anyone!

Answer 4

will medal and fan

Answer 5

1) Why are the answers written like that? Very, VERY confusing. Perhaps it should be \(4.6 * 10^{8}\;cm/min\)?

2) Didn't we already do this?

2a) cm ==> m multiply the expression by \(\dfrac{1\;m}{100\;cm}\)

2b) min ==> hr multiply the expression by \(\dfrac{60\;min}{1\;hr}\)

Let's see what you get.

Answer 6

29.08 meters per hour
but i need in scientific notation expression

Answer 7

An average person in the United States throws away 4.5 × 10–1 kg of trash per day. A single gram of trash has an average volume of 3 cm3.

How many cubic meters of trash would the average person in the United States produce each year (1 m3 = 1 × 106 cm3)?

Not sure where you managed 29.08

4.6*60/100 = 2.76
The magnitude is still \(10^{8}\)

Answer 9

i still dont get the answer
