Describe how to write 3,482,000,000 in scientific notation.

3.482 x 10^9

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 4, 8 and 2 are the only numbers that aren't zero, so they're in the first part of the equation. 3 is the first number, so it goes before the decimal while the others are behind it. There are 9 total spots behind the 3, which is why it's 10 to the 9th power in this notation.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
