Description
1/10 of Mrs. Bergere's students will get this question wrong. If she has 250 students,write in scientific notation how many people will get this right.
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
If 1/10 of the students will get the question wrong, then 9/10 will get it right. Since there are 250 students, the number of students who will get the question right is 250 x (9/10) = 225.
Now, change the answer to scientific notation:
225 = 2.25 x 10^2
So, 2.25 x 10^2 students will get the question right.
Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.Review
