Question

For what value of a will 8×10^3 be 40 times larger than a×10^2

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of 'a,' we can set up an equation based on the given information.

8×10^3 = 40(a×10^2)

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

8×10^3 = 40a×(10^2)

8×10^3 = 40a×10^2

8×10^3 = 40a×100

8×10^3 = 4000a

Now, we can solve the equation by isolating 'a':

a = (8×10^3) / 4000

a = 2

Therefore, the value of 'a' is 2.

To find the value of a, we can set up an equation based on the given information and solve for a.

We are given that 8×10^3 is 40 times larger than a×10^2. Let's express this information in the form of an equation:

8×10^3 = 40(a×10^2)

First, let's simplify the equation by multiplying 40 and a×10^2:

8×10^3 = 40a×10^2

Next, let's simplify further by multiplying 40 and 10^2:

8×10^3 = 4000a

Now, to solve for a, we can rearrange the equation by dividing both sides by 4000:

8×10^3 / 4000 = a

Simplifying the left side:

2×10^3 = a

So, the value of a is 2×10^3.

To find the value of "a" that makes 8×10^3 forty times larger than a×10^2, we need to set up an equation and solve it.

Let's represent the given statements mathematically:
8×10^3 = 40(a×10^2)

First, we can simplify 8×10^3 as 8000 and 40(a×10^2) as 40a×10^2.

The equation now becomes:
8000 = 40a×10^2

Divide both sides of the equation by 40 and divide by 10^2 to cancel out the effect of multiplying by 10^2:

8000/40 = a

Simplifying the left side of the equation:
200 = a

Therefore, the value of "a" that makes 8×10^3 forty times larger than a×10^2 is a = 200.

Answer 4
