The roses are sold in bunches of 4, 6, 8, or 12. The chart below shows the prices for the different bunches of roses. Roses in Bunch Price 4 $7.98 6 $8.50 8 $10.25 12 $12.25 Based on the information in the chart, which size bunch would be the least expensive per rose? A. 4 B. 6 C. 8

how do i comment

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
