so the answer is 4.5x10^6 if that is the right answer then i am confused because it doesnt have a . in between the 4 and 5. It shows 45x10^6. So please tell me that is the answer or ot.
OpenStudy (c1ndrella78):
yes the answer would be 4 point 5x10^6
(not 45)
OpenStudy (gagecool):
okay thank you for your help.
OpenStudy (phi):
break the problem into two parts.
first do 5.4/1.2
then do the 10's part: 10^12 / 10^3
you should know the fast way to do that problem is figure out "top exponent" i.e. 12
minus the "bottom exponent" 3
(btw, it is not 6)
OpenStudy (gagecool):
that equals 9
