I need help with this plz. The length of a city block running north to south in New York City is about 5 X 10^-2 miles. The distance from New York City to Mumbai, India, is about 7.5 X10^3 miles. The distance from New York City to Mumbai is about how many times the length of a New York City north-south block?

Show your work.

so nyc=5 times 10^-2 miles

NYC-Mumbai=7.5 times 10^3

so

5 times 10^-2 times x=7.5 times 10^3

divide both sdies by 5 times 10^-2

x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)

when dividing scientific notation you do this

x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)=(7.5/5) times ((10^3)/(10^-2))

to divide exponents just subtract top from bottom

3-(-2)=5

answer is

x=1.5 times 10^5

15×10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of New York City =

The distance from New York City to Mumbai, India =

The distance from New York City to Mumbai is about how many times the length of a New York City north-south block? can be translated into the equation :

To solve the equation ,

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem
