can anyone help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You start with 8.6 and you move the decimal point 12 times over to the right (since we have that "e12") to get 8,600,000,000,000 This is the number 8.6 trillion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The notation 8.6e12 literally means 8.6 x 10^12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so for practice, what would 7.2e5 equal?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

keep in mind that 7.2e5 = 7.2 x 10^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help with more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.2e5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which is equal to what expanded out number?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

7.2e5 = 7.2 x 10^5 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

720000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, 7.2 x 10^5 = 720,000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok onto the next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start with 135,000,000,000,000 and place a decimal point between the first two nonzero digits, so between 1 and 3 we get 1.35,000,000,000,000 now drop every 0 after the 5 to get 1.35

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes it is, because you move the decimal point 14 times to the right to go from 1.35 to get back to 135,000,000,000,000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this number 135,000,000,000,000 is the number 135 trillion

What is 7.8 × 105 m/h in kilometers per day? A. 3.24 × 1010 km/day B. 3.24 × 108 km/day C. 1.872 × 106 km/day D. 1.872 × 104 km/day

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many meters are in a kilometer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1kilometers in 1000meters

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we have 7.8 x 10^5 meters how do we convert this over to km?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

780000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

780000 meters = _____ km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

780

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, you divide by 1000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to go from m to km

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we now have 780 km/hr how do we convert hours to days?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24hrs in one day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we have |dw:1409446742683:dw|
