Question

A quarter is approximately 0.07 inches thick. A dollar bill is approximately 4.3 × 10-3 inches thick.

A is thicker than a by m × 10n inches, where m = and n = .

Answer 1

m = 6.57 and n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you will covert the thickness of a dollar to standard notation and then compare the two values.

0.07 =compared to 0.0043 = 0.0657

0.0657 = 6.57 x 10^-2

A quarter is thicker than a dollar by 6.57 x 10^-2.

m = 6.57 and n = -2

Answer 2

m = 6.57 and n = -2

Explanation:

To answer this question you will covert the thickness of a dollar to standard notation and then compare the two values.

0.07 =compared to 0.0043 = 0.0657

0.0657 = 6.57 x 10^-2

A quarter is thicker than a dollar by 6.57 x 10^-2.

m = 6.57 and n = -2
