Illustrate an abstract mathematical concept with symbols and shapes. The scene should show two balances. On the left balance, depict a weight labeled '8' multiplied by a cube, symbolizing '10 to the power of 3'. On the right balance, a weight labeled '40 times', then an alphabetic block labeled 'a' being multiplied by a square, symbolizing '10 to the power of 2'. Make sure to imply equilibrium between both scales, whispering a sense of solving for 'a'. Remember -- no text, just symbols, weights, and balance scales.

To find the value of a, we can set up an equation using the given information.

We are given that 8×10^3 (8000) is 40 times larger than a×10^2 (100a). In other words, 8000 is equal to 40 times 100a.

We can write this equation as:

8000 = 40(100a)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

8000 = 4000a

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4000, we find:

a = 2

Therefore, for a value of 2, 8×10^3 (8000) will be 40 times larger than a×10^2 (200).

To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) to the distance Earth is farther (2.6×10^7 miles).

Therefore, we can calculate the distance using the following equation:

Distance from Earth to the sun = Distance from Venus to the sun + Distance Earth is farther
Distance from Earth to the sun = 67,000,000 miles + 2.6×10^7 miles

Adding the values, we get:

Distance from Earth to the sun = 67,000,000 miles + 2.6×10^7 miles = 93,000,000 miles

Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is 9.3×10^7 miles, expressed in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.

To calculate how much heavier a grain of rice is than a strand of hair, we need to subtract the mass of the hair from the mass of the rice.

Grain of rice mass = 0.002 ounces

Strand of hair mass = 2.17×10^(-5) ounces

Subtracting the two masses:

0.002 ounces - 2.17×10^(-5) ounces = 0.0019823 ounces

To express the result in scientific notation, we need to write 0.0019823 as a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10.

0.0019823 can be written as 1.9823×10^(-3).

Therefore, a grain of rice is approximately 1.9823×10^(-3) ounces heavier than a strand of hair.

To calculate how many miles 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).

Using scientific notation, we proceed with the calculation:

(1.9×10^5 mi./sec) × (3.2×10^7 seconds) = 6.08×10^12 mi.

Therefore, light travels approximately 6.08×10^12 miles in a year.

To calculate how many meters the tectonic plate would move in 2×10^6 years, we need to multiply the average rate of movement (0.006 m/year) by the number of years (2×10^6 years).

Using scientific notation, we can perform the calculation:

(0.006 m/year) × (2×10^6 years) = 1.2×10^4 m

Therefore, the tectonic plate would move approximately 1.2×10^4 meters in 2×10^6 years.

r they right

To convert the temperature of the sun's center from scientific notation to decimal notation, we need to multiply 2.7 by 10 raised to the power of 7.

Therefore, 2.7 × 10^7 can be written in decimal notation as 27,000,000.

Use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers has the least value: 98,789,000; 987,890,000; or 89,987,000. Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.

The answer that uses the most appropriate units is:

6.3¯¯¯ × 10^5 minutes.

In this case, minutes are a more appropriate unit since it is a common unit for measuring the duration of playlists or songs. The other options (seconds, hours, and days) are either too small or too large for typical playlist durations.

To find out how many square miles will be in each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field (3.9 mi^2) by the number of family gardens (1.3×10^3).

Using scientific notation, we can perform the calculation:

3.9 mi^2 / (1.3×10^3 gardens) = 3×10^(-3) mi^2

Therefore, there will be approximately 3×10^(-3) square miles in each garden.

One second is approximately 0.0000115741 of a day. What is this number in scientific notation?

The temperature of the sun at its center is about 2.7×107 degrees Fahrenheit. What is this temperature written in decimal notation?

To determine which of these numbers has the least value, we need to compare their coefficients.

Converting the given numbers to scientific notation:

98,789,000 = 9.8789 × 10^7
987,890,000 = 9.8789 × 10^8
89,987,000 = 8.9987 × 10^7

Comparing the coefficients, we see that 8.9987 × 10^7 has the smallest value.

Thus, 89,987,000 written in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place, is 8.9987 × 10^7.

Place the numbers in descending order.

2.3 × 10−10; 3.2 × 10−10; 2.3 × 10−12; 2.3 × 10−8

To place the numbers in descending order, we need to compare their exponents first.

2.3 × 10^(-12) has the smallest exponent and will be the largest number.

Next, we compare the coefficients for the remaining numbers with the same exponent.

3.2 × 10^(-10) has a larger coefficient than 2.3 × 10^(-10), so it will come next.

Finally, 2.3 × 10^(-8) will be the smallest number since it has the largest exponent.

Therefore, the numbers in descending order are:
2.3 × 10^(-12)
3.2 × 10^(-10)
2.3 × 10^(-10)
2.3 × 10^(-8)

A national park covers an area of 1.42×106 acres. A nearby national forest covers an area of 1.2×106acres. What is the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined?(1 point)

2.62×1012
2.62 times 10 superscript 12 baseline

1.54×106
1.54 times 10 superscript 6 baseline

2.62×106
2.62 times 10 superscript 6 baseline

15.5×106

To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we add the areas of the national park and the national forest.

National Park area = 1.42×10^6 acres
National Forest area = 1.2×10^6 acres

Adding these values, we get:

1.42×10^6 + 1.2×10^6 = 2.62×10^6

Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62×10^6.

The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6×107 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.

Calculate 4.8×10−3−9.4×10−6. Express the answer in scientific notation rounding to 2 decimal places

To subtract the given numbers in scientific notation, we need to have the same exponent. In this case, we need to convert 9.4×10^(-6) to 4.8×10^(-3)'s exponent by multiplying it by 10^3:

4.8×10^(-3) - 9.4×10^(-6) can be written as 4800×10^(-6) - 9.4×10^(-6).

Performing the subtraction:

4800×10^(-6) - 9.4×10^(-6) = (4800 - 9.4)×10^(-6).

Evaluating the subtraction:

4780.6×10^(-6).

To round the answer to two decimal places, we consider the first two digits after the decimal point, which are 0 and 6. Since 6 is larger than or equal to 5, we round up the 0 to 1 and discard the 6.

Therefore, the final answer, expressed in scientific notation and rounded to two decimal places, is 4.78×10^(-3).

To express the number 0.0000115741 in scientific notation, we move the decimal point 7 places to the right to obtain 1.15741. Then, we multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of -7, since we moved the decimal point 7 places to the right.

Therefore, 0.0000115741 can be written in scientific notation as 1.15741 × 10^-7.

To calculate how many hours it will take for the asteroid to hit Mars, we need to divide the distance between the asteroid and Mars (3.311×10^8 miles) by the rate of the asteroid (7.7×10^4 mi./hr).

Using scientific notation, we can perform the calculation:

(3.311×10^8 miles) / (7.7×10^4 mi./hr) = 4.2948×10^3 hr

Therefore, it will take approximately 4.2948×10^3 hours for the asteroid to hit Mars.
