A family wants to enclose a rectangular playground for their toddler with an area of 24 square yards. The length of the garden is to be 5 yards more than its width. What should the dimensions of the playground be?

3 × 8 yards

Explanation:

possible lengths & widths for the given area of 24 square yards:

1 and 24, 2 and 12, 3 and 8, 4 and 6

of these four options, only 3 and 8 fit the requirement of the length of the garden being 5 yards more than the width of the garden. thus, the answer is 3 × 8 yards.

i hope this helps! :D

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.

whatvare the choices
