Mr.Pilgrim has a turkey farm.He has one male turkey for every 17 female turkeys.If he has 289 females,how many does he have?Can this be expressed using exponents?
Each turkey has 2.3X106 feathes.How many feathers is that in standard form?
this is what you would have to do you would have to divide 17 and 289 and you have it would be 17males

289/17 = number of toms (male turkeys) = 17
2.3 times 106 does not come out to a whole number. (They would not have a partial feather.)Is there something missing in your notation?
I also do not know where Linda got an answer in time intervals.
can u show me how u solve it.
2.3 x 106
To answer the first question, we can determine the number of male turkeys using the given information. If Mr. Pilgrim has one male turkey for every 17 female turkeys, we can calculate the number of males by dividing the number of females by 17.
Number of male turkeys = Number of females / 17
In this case, the number of females is given as 289. Therefore:
Number of male turkeys = 289 / 17 ≈ 17
So, Mr. Pilgrim has approximately 17 male turkeys.
Now, to express this using exponents, we can rewrite the statement as:
Number of male turkeys = (1/17) * Number of females
or
Number of male turkeys = (1/17) * 289
However, this expression cannot be simplified further using exponents.
Moving on to the second question, if each turkey has 2.3x10^6 feathers, we can convert this to standard form.
Standard form represents large numbers without using exponents, where the number is written as a decimal greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a power of 10.
In this case, we have 2.3x10^6 feathers. The decimal part is 2.3, and the power of 10 is 6.
To express this in standard form, we can write:
2.3x10^6 = 2,300,000
So, in standard form, the number of feathers is 2,300,000.
