To solve this problem, we can set up the equation:
8 × 103 = 40(a × 102)
First, let's evaluate the right side of the equation:
a × 102 = 100 × a (1 zero after 1)
Next, we substitute this value back into the equation:
8 × 103 = 40(100 × a)
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
8 × 103 = 4000 × a
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4000 to isolate "a":
(8 × 103) / 4000 = a
2000 / 4000 = a
a = 0.5
Therefore, the value of "a" that makes 8 × 103 equal to 40 times larger than a × 102 is 0.5.

For what value of a will 8×103 be 40 times larger than a×10^2?(1 point)
To solve this problem, we can set up the equation:
8 × 10^3 = 40(a × 10^2)
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^2
Since the bases (10) are the same, we can combine the exponents on the right side:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^(3-1)
Now, let's simplify further:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^2
8 × 1000 = 40a × 100
8000 = 4000a
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4000 to isolate "a":
8000 / 4000 = a
2 = a
Therefore, the value of "a" that makes 8 × 10^3 equal to 40 times larger than a × 10^2 is 2.
8 × 10^3 = 40(a × 10^2)
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^2
Since the bases (10) are the same, we can combine the exponents on the right side:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^(3-1)
Now, let's simplify further:
8 × 10^3 = 40a × 10^2
8 × 1000 = 40a × 100
8000 = 4000a
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4000 to isolate "a":
8000 / 4000 = a
2 = a
Therefore, the value of "a" that makes 8 × 10^3 equal to 40 times larger than a × 10^2 is 2.

2.62×10^6
15.5×10^6
2.62×10^12
1.54×10^6
2.62×10^6
To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we add their individual areas:
1.42 × 10^6 acres (park)
+ 1.2 × 10^6 acres (forest)
To add these, we need to make sure the numbers are written in the same power of 10. Let's convert 1.2 × 10^6 to the same power as 1.42 × 10^6:
1.42 × 10^6 acres (park)
+ 0.12 × 10^(7) acres (forest) (moving the decimal one place to the right increases the power of 10)
Now we can add the two numbers:
1.42 × 10^6 acres
+ 0.12 × 10^7 acres = 1.54 × 10^6 acres
Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 1.54 × 10^6 acres.
1.42 × 10^6 acres (park)
+ 1.2 × 10^6 acres (forest)
To add these, we need to make sure the numbers are written in the same power of 10. Let's convert 1.2 × 10^6 to the same power as 1.42 × 10^6:
1.42 × 10^6 acres (park)
+ 0.12 × 10^(7) acres (forest) (moving the decimal one place to the right increases the power of 10)
Now we can add the two numbers:
1.42 × 10^6 acres

4.8×10^(-3) - 9.4×10^(-6) can be rewritten as:
4.8×10^(-3) - 0.0094×10^(-3)
Now, subtract the coefficients:
4.8 - 0.0094 = 4.7906
Finally, express the answer in scientific notation, rounding to 2 decimal places:
4.7906 can be written as 4.79. In scientific notation, this is:

A strand of hair has an average mass of 2.17×10^−5 ounces. A grain of rice has an average mass of 0.002 ounces. How much heavier is a grain of rice than a strand of hair? Express your answer in scientific notation.(1 point)
To find out how much heavier a grain of rice is than a strand of hair, we need to subtract the mass of the strand of hair (2.17×10^(-5) ounces) from the mass of a grain of rice (0.002 ounces).
0.002 ounces - 2.17×10^(-5) ounces
First, we need to express both numbers in the same decimal format:
0.002 ounces - 0.0000217 ounces
Now, we can subtract the numbers:
0.002 - 0.0000217 = 0.0019783
To express this in scientific notation, we need to convert it to a decimal between 1 and 10:
0.0019783 = 1.9783 × 10^(-3)
Therefore, a grain of rice is 1.9783 × 10^(-3) ounces heavier than a strand of hair.
0.002 ounces - 2.17×10^(-5) ounces
First, we need to express both numbers in the same decimal format:
0.002 ounces - 0.0000217 ounces
Now, we can subtract the numbers:
0.002 - 0.0000217 = 0.0019783
To express this in scientific notation, we need to convert it to a decimal between 1 and 10:
0.0019783 = 1.9783 × 10^(-3)
Therefore, a grain of rice is 1.9783 × 10^(-3) ounces heavier than a strand of hair.
Light travels at an approximate rate of 1.9×10^5 mi./sec. There are about 3.2×10^7 seconds in a year. About how many miles does light travel in a year? Write the answer in scientific notation. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.(1 point)
To calculate the distance light travels in a year, we need to multiply the speed of light (1.9×10^5 mi./sec) by the number of seconds in a year (3.2×10^7 seconds).
(1.9×10^5 mi./sec) × (3.2×10^7 seconds)
Multiplying the coefficients and adding the exponents, we get:
(1.9 × 3.2) × (10^5 × 10^7) = 6.08 × 10^12
So, light travels approximately 6.08×10^12 miles in a year.
(1.9×10^5 mi./sec) × (3.2×10^7 seconds)
Multiplying the coefficients and adding the exponents, we get:
(1.9 × 3.2) × (10^5 × 10^7) = 6.08 × 10^12
So, light travels approximately 6.08×10^12 miles in a year.
The average tectonic plate moves at the rate of 0.006 m per year. How many meters would it move in 2×10^6 years? Write the answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.(1 point)
To calculate the distance the tectonic plate would move in 2×10^6 years, we need to multiply the rate of movement (0.006 m/year) by the number of years (2×10^6 years).
(0.006 m/year) × (2×10^6 years)
Multiplying the coefficients, we get:
0.006 × 2 = 0.012
Now, we multiply the powers of 10:
10^6 × 10^(-3) = 10^(6-3) = 10^3
Combining the coefficient and the power of 10, we get:
0.012 × 10^3 = 1.2 × 10^(-2) × 10^3 = 1.2 × 10^(3-2) = 1.2 × 10^1 = 1.2
So, the tectonic plate would move approximately 1.2 meters in 2×10^6 years.
(0.006 m/year) × (2×10^6 years)
Multiplying the coefficients, we get:
0.006 × 2 = 0.012
Now, we multiply the powers of 10:
10^6 × 10^(-3) = 10^(6-3) = 10^3
Combining the coefficient and the power of 10, we get:
0.012 × 10^3 = 1.2 × 10^(-2) × 10^3 = 1.2 × 10^(3-2) = 1.2 × 10^1 = 1.2
So, the tectonic plate would move approximately 1.2 meters in 2×10^6 years.
