Let's solve each question step by step.
Question 1
Calculate \( 6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6 \).
-
Both terms can be combined since they have the same power of 10: \[ (6.25 - 4.73) \times 10^6 = 1.52 \times 10^6 \]
-
The answer is: \[ \text{Answer: } 1.52 \times 10^6 \]
Question 2
How much farther is Neptune ( \( 4.3514 \times 10^9 \) km ) from Earth than Mars ( \( 2.25 \times 10^8 \) km )?
-
Convert the distances to the same power of ten for easy subtraction: \[ 2.25 \times 10^8 = 0.225 \times 10^9 \]
-
Now subtract: \[ 4.3514 \times 10^9 - 0.225 \times 10^9 = (4.3514 - 0.225) \times 10^9 = 4.1264 \times 10^9 \]
-
The answer is: \[ \text{Answer: } 4.1264 \times 10^9 \]
Question 3
Find the difference between the high end \( (2.329 \times 10^{-2}) \) and the low end \( (6.849 \times 10^{-4}) \).
-
Convert the lower value to a common exponent for subtraction: \[ 6.849 \times 10^{-4} = 0.006849 \times 10^{-2} \]
-
Now perform the subtraction: \[ 2.329 \times 10^{-2} - 0.006849 \times 10^{-2} = (2.329 - 0.006849) \times 10^{-2} = 2.322151 \times 10^{-2} \]
-
The answer is: \[ \text{Answer: } 2.322151 \times 10^{-2} \]
Question 4
Calculate \( 0.078 - (5.2 \times 10^{-3}) \).
-
First, convert \( 0.078 \) to scientific notation: \[ 0.078 = 7.8 \times 10^{-2} \]
-
Now, perform the subtraction: \[ 7.8 \times 10^{-2} - 5.2 \times 10^{-3} = 7.8 \times 10^{-2} - 0.052 \times 10^{-2} = (7.8 - 0.052) \times 10^{-2} = 7.748 \times 10^{-2} \]
-
The answer is: \[ \text{Answer: } 7.748 \times 10^{-2} \]
Question 5
Calculate how much bigger Jupiter’s radius \( (4.3441 \times 10^4) \) is compared to Earth’s radius \( (3959) \).
-
First, convert \( 3959 \) to scientific notation: \[ 3959 \approx 3.959 \times 10^3 \]
-
Now, calculate the difference: \[ 4.3441 \times 10^4 - 3.959 \times 10^3 = 4.3441 \times 10^4 - 0.3959 \times 10^4 = (4.3441 - 0.3959) \times 10^4 = 3.9482 \times 10^4 \]
-
The answer is: \[ \text{Answer: } 3.9482 \times 10^4 \]
Summary of Answers:
- \( 1.52 \times 10^6 \)
- \( 4.1264 \times 10^9 \)
- \( 2.322151 \times 10^{-2} \)
- \( 7.748 \times 10^{-2} \)
- \( 3.9482 \times 10^4 \)
