In the morning, Deisy skied a total distance of 7 3/10miles. In the afternoon, she skied a total distance of 6 1/4 miles. Deisy's friend Marco skied a total of 13 1/2 miles for the entire day. Who skied farther and by how much?

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )

6.5

step-by-step explanation:

you said it was in the question

~courtney

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.
