11. 1.9 x 10^5 mi/sec x 3.2 x 10^7 sec = 6.08 x 10^12 miles
12. 0.006 M/yr x 2 x 10^6 years = 1.2 x 10^4 meters
13. 3.311 x 10^8 miles / (7.7 x 10^4 mi/hr) = 4.3 x 10^3 hours
14. 3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 x 10^3 = 3 x 10^-3 MI^2
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.

9. Calculating 4.8 x 10^-3 - 9.4 x 10^-6:

4.8 x 10^-3 - 9.4 x 10^-6 = 4.7906 x 10^-3

10. Comparing the masses of a grain of rice and a strand of hair:

0.002 - 2.17 x 10^-5 = 0.0019783 = 2 x 10^-3

The grain of rice is 2 x 10^-3 ounces heavier than a strand of hair.

11. Calculating the distance light travels in a year:
1.9 x 10^5 mi/sec x 3.2 x 10^7 sec/year = 6.08 x 10^12 miles

12. Calculating the movement of the tectonic plate in 2 x 10^6 years:
0.006 M/yr x 2 x 10^6 years = 12,000 meters = 1.2 x 10^4 meters

13. Calculating the time before the asteroid hits Mars:
3.311 x 10^8 miles / 7.7 x 10^4 mi/hr = 4.3 x 10^3 hours

14. Calculating the square miles per family garden subdivision:
3.9 mi^2 / 1.3 x 10^3 = 3 x 10^-3 mi^2
