We can set up the equation:
8×10^3 = 40(a×10^2)
To solve for a, we can simplify both sides of the equation and then isolate a:
8×10^3 = 40a×10^2
8×10^3 = 40a×10^2
8×10^3 = 40a×10^2
8×10^3 = 400a
Divide both sides of the equation by 400:
(8×10^3)/400 = a
20 = a
Therefore, the value of a is 20.
For what value of a will 8×10^3 be 40 times larger than a×10^2 ?(1 point)
