Last year a large trucking company delivered 8.0x10^5 tons of goods with an average value of $30,000 per ton. what was the total value of the goods delivered? write the answer in scientific notation.

$24(10)⁹

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year a large trucking company delivered goods = 8.0 × 10⁵ tons

We will simplify the value = 8.0 × 10⁵

                                          = 8.0 × 100,000

                                         =  800,000 tons

An average value of each ton = $30,000

Therefore, the value of 800,000 tons = 30,000 × 800,000

                                                               = $24,000,000,000

                                                               = $24 billions

We will rewrite the answer in scientific notation

$24,000,000,000 = $24(10)⁹

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
