5 answers

Let's solve each question step by step:

  1. Households Served by Power Station

    • Average usage per household: \(1.04 \times 10^4 \) kWh.
    • Total generation by power station: \(2.496 \times 10^{10} \) kWh.
    • To find the number of households it can serve, divide total kWh by kWh per household: \[ \text{Number of households} = \frac{2.496 \times 10^{10}}{1.04 \times 10^{4}} = \frac{2.496}{1.04} \times 10^{10 - 4} = 2.4 \times 10^6 \]
  2. Miles from Meters

    • Meters in a mile: \(1.6 \times 10^3 \).
    • Meters to convert: \(3.52 \times 10^7 \).
    • To find the number of miles, divide the total meters by meters per mile: \[ \text{Miles} = \frac{3.52 \times 10^7}{1.6 \times 10^3} = \frac{3.52}{1.6} \times 10^{7 - 3} = 2.2 \times 10^4 \]
  3. Bytes of Storage per Customer

    • Total storage available: \(1.326 \times 10^{13} \) bytes.
    • Number of customers: \(2.6 \times 10^4 \).
    • Divide total bytes by number of customers: \[ \text{Bytes per customer} = \frac{1.326 \times 10^{13}}{2.6 \times 10^4} = \frac{1.326}{2.6} \times 10^{13 - 4} = 0.51 \times 10^9 = 5.1 \times 10^8 \]
  4. Neon Tetras in Aquarium

    • Gallons for each tetra: \(1.25 \).
    • Total gallons in the aquarium: \(1 \times 10^5 \).
    • Divide total gallons by gallons per tetra: \[ \text{Tetras} = \frac{1 \times 10^5}{1.25} = 0.8 \times 10^5 = 8 \times 10^4 \]
  5. Feathers for a Specific Weight

    • Weight of one feather: \(0.0082 \) g.
    • Desired weight: \(4.1 \times 10^3 \) g.
    • Divide total weight by weight of one feather: \[ \text{Feathers needed} = \frac{4.1 \times 10^3}{0.0082} = \frac{4.1}{0.0082} \times 10^{3} = 500 \times 10^{3} = 5 \times 10^5 \]

Let's solve each question step by step.

Question 1: Find the Width of the Park

Given:

  • Area of the park = \(1.36 \times 10^8\) ft²
  • Length of the park = \(1.6 \times 10^4\) ft

To find the width, divide the area by the length: \[ \text{Width} = \frac{1.36 \times 10^8}{1.6 \times 10^4} \] Calculating:

  1. Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{1.36}{1.6} = 0.85 \]
  2. Subtract the exponents: \[ 10^{8 - 4} = 10^4 \] Combining gives: \[ \text{Width} = 0.85 \times 10^4 = 8.5 \times 10^3 \text{ ft} \]

Question 2: Divide \(3.3 \times 10^4\) by \(5.5 \times 10^7\)

\[ \frac{3.3 \times 10^4}{5.5 \times 10^7} = \frac{3.3}{5.5} \times 10^{4 - 7} \] Calculating:

  1. Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6 \]
  2. Subtract the exponents: \[ 10^{-3} \] Combining gives: \[ \text{Result} = 0.6 \times 10^{-3} = 6 \times 10^{-4} \]

Question 3: Divide Grant Amount by Cost per Lunch

Given: Grant = \(1.925 \times 10^6\) dollars, Cost per lunch = 2.75 dollars.

To find the number of lunches: \[ \text{Number of lunches} = \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75} \] Calculating:

  1. First, convert 2.75 into scientific notation (approximately \(2.75 \approx 2.75 \times 10^0\)).
  2. Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{1.925}{2.75} \approx 0.7 \]
  3. The exponent remains \(10^6\): \[ \text{Result} = 0.7 \times 10^6 = 7 \times 10^5 \]

Question 4: Distributing Perfume

Given: Total perfume = 10.5 gallons, Number of containers = \(3.5 \times 10^2\).

Find amount per container: \[ \text{Amount per container} = \frac{10.5}{3.5 \times 10^2} = \frac{10.5}{3.5} \times 10^{-2} \] Calculating:

  1. \(10.5 \div 3.5 = 3\)
  2. Result: \[ \text{Result} = 3 \times 10^{-1} \]

Question 5: Square Feet of the Pavilion

Given: Number of bricks = \(2.967 \times 10^5\) bricks, Bricks per square foot = 6.9 bricks.

To find square feet: \[ \text{Square feet} = \frac{2.967 \times 10^5}{6.9} \] Calculating:

  1. Divide coefficients: \[ \frac{2.967}{6.9} \approx 0.43 \]
  2. Keep the exponent: \[ \text{Result} = 0.43 \times 10^5 = 4.3 \times 10^4 \]

Final Answers

  1. Width of Park: \(8.5 \times 10^3\) ft
  2. Result of Divide: \(6 \times 10^{-4}\)
  3. Number of Lunches: \(7 \times 10^5\)
  4. Amount per Container: \(3 \times 10^{-1}\)
  5. Square Feet of Pavilion: \(4.3 \times 10^4\) ft²
4 is 3x10^-2

Apologies for any confusion in my previous response regarding Question 4. Let's clarify that calculation properly.

Question 4: Distributing Perfume

You need to divide 10.5 gallons of perfume among \(3.5 \times 10^2\) containers.

To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, you set up the division like this:

\[ \text{Amount per container} = \frac{10.5 \text{ gallons}}{3.5 \times 10^2 \text{ containers}} \]

  1. First, calculate the division of the coefficients: \[ \frac{10.5}{3.5} = 3 \]

  2. The denominator has a power of ten, so we subtract the exponent: \[ 3 \text{ (since } 10^0 \text{ is just } 1\text{)} \text{ and } 10^{-2} \] Thus, \[ \text{Amount per container} = 3 \times 10^{-2} \text{ gallons} \]

So, the correct answer is indeed:

3 × 10^{-2} gallons
