Question

THE DECIMALS ARE ACTUALLY NEGATIVE EXPONENTS HELP PLEASE??? The weight of a

Answer 1

3.2 * 3.4

Answer 2

10.88

Answer 3

multiply the baby weight by the multiplier

Answer 4

how do I leave it in form ab?

Answer 5

3.2 * 3.4 is ab

Answer 6

oh okay, thank you!

Answer 7

Can you help me with another @peachpi I cant ask another question without verifying me email and I dont have time

Answer 8

keep going i'm watching

Answer 9

The world population is increasing about 140 people per minute! At this rate, how much will the population increase in a decade? Put your answer in Scientific Notation. SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK, THIS INCLUDES USING NUMBERS AND WORDS! Put your answer in Scientific Notation

Answer 10

Thank you for your help

Answer 11

um... how many years in a decade?

Answer 12

10

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

so... \[3.4\times10\times365\times60~~~ is~the~answer~i~think~\]

Answer 15

Thank you! This is helping me a bunch

Answer 16

Can you show me how you got the numbers? I need to show all of my work

Answer 17

and then try to make it into sciencitific notation so it makes #.##*10^#

Answer 18

@Leong

Answer 19

right idea, but you missed a conversion. and I think the 3.4 is for the previous problem.
you basically need to find the amount of minutes in a decade and then multiply by 140.
60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day
365 day in a year
10 years in a decade

Answer 20

oops sorry

Answer 21

and i forgot the 24

Answer 22

okay, so first I do 24*365=8760
then I 8760*10=87600
Then 87600*140=12,264,000?

Answer 23

you forgot the 60 minutes

Answer 24

so I multiply the 60 minutes too?
or just mention it?

Answer 25

no you have to multiply it, because then you have to take the result into scientific notation

Answer 26

Okay, so all I have to do is 60*24=1440
1440*365=525,600
525,600*10=5,256,000

Answer 27

um no not like that....

Answer 28

I wish I was better at math this is really confusing

Answer 29

yes that's right. there are 5,256,000 minutes in a decade.
Now multiply by 140 to find the population increase over the decade

Answer 30

okay, so 5,256,000*140=735,840,000

Answer 31

yes

Answer 32

so the final answer is 735,840,000? Thank you!

Answer 33

It says put the answer in scientific notation. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 34

no, not really :/

Answer 35

so basicially... 321000000 turns into 3.21*10^8

Answer 36

Im still confused

Answer 37

in scientific notation, the decimal needs to be behind the first number that's not 0. If the decimal point moves left, the exponent on 10 is positive. If it moves right the exponent on 10 is negative. The number of the exponent is the number of spaces the decimal moved
