Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

1.-

Data

3.3 x 10 ⁴ pounds of paper

1.5 x 10³ pounds of aluminum

Amount of aluminum / amount of paper = 1.5 x 10³ / 3.3 x 10⁴

= 0.045 times

= 4.5 x 10 ⁻²

2.-

Data

1.2 x 10 ³ text messages in a month

text messages in a year = ?

1.2 x 10³ text messages ------------------- 1 month

x ------------------- 12 months

x = (12 x 1.2 x 10³) / 1

x = 14400 text messages

x = 1.44 x 10⁴ text messages

3.-

Data

distance = 4 x 10⁶ miles I am not sure if the power is 6 or 8

speed = 1.6 x 10³ mi/h

Formula

time = distance / speed

time = 4 x 10⁶ / 1.6 x 10³

time = 2500 h

time = 2.5 x 10 ³ h
