Atiny area on a computer chip measures 2.3 x 10^-3 mm by 1.7 x 10^-4
about how many time longer is the longer dimension than the shorter dimension?
a. 1.35
b. 6
c. 7.4
d. 13.5

Divide the larger decimal number value by the smaller decimal number value.

When dividing scientific notation, divide the decimal numbers first:

2.3/1.7 = 1.3529

Now divide the exponents:

10^-3 / 10^-4

Using the law of exponents, when you divide two exponents together you subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator:

-3 - -4 = -3 +4 = 1

Now combine it to get:

1.3529 x 10^1

Now convert to standard form by moving the decimal one place t the right:

13.529

Round to 13.5

c. 65°

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a triangle with two known angles, 62° and 53°, while the third angle x is unknown and we are to find its value.

we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to a total of 180 degrees. so we can write it as:

x + 62° + 53° = 180°

solving to find the value of x:

x = 180 - (62 + 53) = 65°

therefore, the value of x in this triangle is 65°.

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
