Question 3: Jason receives $40 from
selling 5 adult tickets
and 8 students tickets.
.write an equation to
represent the situation.

$40 = 5a + 8s

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question all we need to know is that $40 is equal to 5 prices of the adult tickets plus the 8 prices of the student tickets. From here we can just give a variable to each price and make an equation, like so

Let "a" be the price of the adult ticket and

Let "s" be the price of the adult ticket, then

$40 = 5a + 8s

(Just to make sure you understand I will repeat. 5 comes from he fact hat there were 5 adult tickets sold which means that there is 5 adult ticket prices in the $40, and exactly the same reasoning goes for the student tickets, 8 students tickets were sold which means the is 8 prices of the student ticket inside the $40.)

the least common denominatore of 7 and 2 is 9

step-by-step explanation:

7+2=9

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
