Problem Solving

The table shows the length of two organisms. Use the table to answer questions 21 to 23.

Question 21.
Which organism is longer?
Answer:
Given that the length of eriophyid mite = 250 micrometers
The length of patiriella parvivipara = 5 millimeter.
1 micrometer = 0.001 millimeters
250 micrometers = 0.001 • 25 = 0.025 millimetres
Therefore, The length of patiriella parvivipara is longer.

Question 22.
Express the length of the eriophyid mite in millimeters.
Answer:
Given that the length of the eriophyid mite 250 micrometers
1 micrometer = 0.001 millimeters
250 micrometers = 0.001 • 25 = 0.025 millimeters
Therefore the length of the eriophyid mite in millimeters is 0.025

Question 23.
Write each length in scientific notation using the basic unit.
Answer:
Given that the length of eriophyid mite = 250 micrometers
0.025 • 10⁴
The length of patiriella parvivipara = 5 millimeter.
5 millimetres = 0.5 • 10¹

The top five materials used in the automotive industry in the United States in 2000 are as shown in the table. Use the table to answer questions 24 to 26. Write your answers in scientific notation. Round coefficients to the nearest tenth.

Question 24.
How much more plastic was used than aluminum?
Answer:
Given that the plastic material used in the automotive industry is 46240 = 46.240 • 10³
The aluminum Material used in the automotive industry is 11,320 = 11.320 • 10³
Plastic material – aluminium material = 46.240 • 10³ – 11.320 • 10³ = 34.92 = 3.492 • 10¹
Plastic material is 3.492 • 10¹ consumption is used more than aluminum.
34920 rounded to the nearest tenth is 34920

Question 25.
How much more steel was used than glass?
Answer:
Given that the steel material used in the automotive industry is 9.894 • 10⁷
9.894 • 10⁷
The glass material used in the automotive industry is 54,17,000 = 0.5417000 • 10⁷
Steel material – glass material = 9.894 • 10⁷ – 0.5417000 • 10⁷ = 9.3523 = 93.523 • 10^-1
93.523 • 10^-1 rounded to the nearest tenth is 93.5 • 10^-1

Question 26.
Find the total consumption of these materials used by the automotive industry in 2000.
Answer:
Given that the plastic material used in the automotive industry is 46,240 = 46.240 • 10³
The aluminum material used in the automotive industry is 11,320 = 11.320 • 10³
The steel material used in the automotive industry is 9.894 • 10⁷
The glass material used in the automotive industry is 54,17,000 = 0.5417000 • 10⁷
The rubber material used in the automotive industry is 2.86 • 10⁶
Total consumption = 46.240 • 10³ + 11.320 • 10³ + 9.894 • 10⁷ + 0.5417000 • 10⁷ + 2.86 • 10⁶ = 70.8547 • 10²⁶
70.8547 • 10²⁶ rounded to the nearest tenth is 70.85 • 10²⁶

Question 27.
The table shows the weights of some animals. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

a) About how many times greater than the weight of a walrus is the weight of a hippopotamus?
Answer:
Given that the weight of a walrus = 4.4 • 10³
And the weight of a hippopotamus = 9.9 • 10³
weight of hippopotamus – weight of walrus = 9.9 • 10³ – 4.4 • 10³ = 5.5
Weight of a hippopotamus is 5.5 times greater than that of a walrus.
5.5 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.5

b) About how many times greater than the weight of a hippopotamus is the weight of an African bush elephant?
Answer:
Given that the weight of a hippopotamus = 9.9 • 10³
The weight of a African bush elephant = 2.706 • 10⁴ = 27.06 • 10³
Weight of African bush elephant – weight of a hippopotamus = 27.06;• 10³ – 9.9 • 10³ = 17.16
The weight of an African bush elephant is 17.16 times greater than the hippopotamus.
17.16 rounded to the nearest tenth is 17.2

Question 28.
The floor of the Palace of the Parliament in Romania measures 8.9 • 10² feet by 7.9• 10² feet. The building reaches 2.82 • 10² feet above ground, and 3.02 • 10² feet below ground. Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to estimate the volume inside the palace.
Answer:
Length: 8.9 • 10² feet We are given the dimensions of the rectangular prism:
Width: 7.9 • 10² feet
Above height: 2.82 • 10² feet
Below height: 3.02 • 10² feet
Length • Width • (Above height + Below height) We determine the volume of the prism:
= 8.9 • 10² • 7.9 • 10² • (2.82 • 10² + 3.02 • 10²)
= 8.9 • 10² 7.9 • 10² • [(2.82 + 3.02) • 10²]
= 8.9 • 10² • 7.9 • 10² • 5.84 • 10²
= 8.9 • 7.9 • 5.84 • 10² • 10² • 10²
= 410.6104 • 10²⁺²⁺²
= 410.6104 • 10⁶
= 4.106104 • 10⁸
≈ 4.1 • 10⁸ cube feet

Question 29.
The Stockholm Globe Arena in Sweden resembles a hemisphere. It has an inner diameter of about 1.1 • 10² meters. Find the approximate volume of the building. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.
Answer:
Given that the inner diameter of a hemisphere is 1.1 • 10².
Assume that the building is in the shape of a hemisphere.
D = 2r
1.1 • 10² = 2r
r = 1.1 • 10²/2 = 110/2 = 55
Volume of a hemisphere = ⅔ πr³ cubic units
= ⅔ • 3.14 • (55)³
= 348,278.33
