o, i lost it! :P
OpenStudy (misty1212):
one mile is 63360 inches so one inch is \(\frac{1}{63360}\) miles
lets put in in a calculator and then write it in scientific notation

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
Its not in scientific notation tho
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[0.00001578\] in scientific notation
\[\huge 1.578\times 10^{-5}\]
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
o, lml
OpenStudy (misty1212):
i moved the decimal and counted the spaces
since it went left, the exponent is negative
OpenStudy (misty1212):
i mean right

OpenStudy (misty1212):
for the next one we have to divide
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
quick question
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[\huge \frac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.578\times 10^{-5}}\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
ok
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
did we round the 1st to the nearest 10th?

OpenStudy (misty1212):
we rounded a bit, perhaps we should round some more
OpenStudy (misty1212):
we can't really round to the nearest tenth, i think that is a typo
our number had a zero in the tenths place
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
ooo, ok
OpenStudy (misty1212):
maybe they meant round this \[\huge 1.578\times 10^{-5}\] to this \[\huge 1.6\times 10^{-5}\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
that would make life easier

mkay
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
lol
OpenStudy (misty1212):
then the second question we can do \[\frac{2.5\times10^4}{1.6\times 10^{-5}}\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[2.5\div 1.6=1.5625\] and \[\frac{10^4}{10^{-5}}=10^{4-(-5)}=10^9\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so we have
\[1.5625\times 10^9\] as our answer
again maybe you should round or you can leave it like that

lets round... it said round again
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
1.6 x 10^9
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
right?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
ok
OpenStudy (misty1212):
that is the answer to number 2

OpenStudy (misty1212):
a billion has 9 zeros
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
okay... 1 more! YESS! :P
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so 7.046 billion is \(7.046\times 10^9\)
that is bigger than \(1.6\times 10^9\)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
oh wait i misread the question sorry
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
rite

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
o, ok, lol
OpenStudy (misty1212):
last job it so divide again \[\frac{7.046\times 10^9}{1.6\times 10^9}\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
about \(4.4\)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
and now we are done!!
OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
o, oky!
TY MISTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
