16 million miles in scientific notation

1.6x 10^7 the decimal must be more that 1 and less than 10. The exponent on the 10 is how many places you need to move the decimal to get back to the number you started with. ( for very small decimals the exponent is negative)

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.

The answer is n divided by -5 + 1
