You sure about all that?
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let me try to correct them:
1. We need to find the value of a in the following equation:
8 x 10^3 = 40(x) x 10^2
8 x 10^3 = 40x x 10^2
8 x 10^3 = 4000x
x = 2 x 10^0
a = 2
2. 0.0000115741 can be written in scientific notation as 1.15741 x 10^-5
3. 2.7 x 10^7 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit in decimal notation.
4. Converting both values into scientific notation:
98,789,000 = 9.8789 x 10^7
987,890,000 = 9.8789 x 10^8
9.8789 x 10^7 has the least value.
5. Arranging the numbers in descending order:
3.2 x 10^-10; 2.3 x 10^-10; 2.3 x 10^-12; 2.3 x 10^-8
6. 3 x 10^8 millimeters covers the most appropriate units.
7. The total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 1.42 x 10^6 + 1.2 x 10^6 = 2.62 x 10^6 acres
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 2.62 x 10^6
8. The Earth to the sun distance in scientific notation is 2.6 x 10^7 miles.
I'll answer the remaining questions in a follow-up comment.
