For what value of a will 8×103 be 40 times larger than a×102 ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the value of "a," we can set up an equation based on the given information.

8×10^3 = 40(a×10^2)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

8×10^3 = 40a×10^2

Dividing both sides of the equation by 40, we have:

(8×10^3) / 40 = (40a×10^2) / 40

200 = a×10^2

To isolate "a," we divide both sides of the equation by 10^2:

a = 200 / 10^2

a = 200 / 100

a = 2

Therefore, the value of "a" is 2.
