answered
To find the value of "a" that makes 8x10^3 forty times larger than "a" x 10^2, we can set up the equation:
8x10^3 = 40(a x 10^2)
First, simplify the equation:
8x10^3 = 40ax10^2
Next, divide both sides by 40:
(8x10^3)/40 = ax10^2
200 = ax10^2
Now divide both sides by 10^2:
200/(10^2) = a
200/100 = a
2 = a
So, the value of "a" is 2.

To find the value of "a" that makes 8x10^3 be 40 times larger than "a" x 10^2, we can set up the following equation:
8x10^3 = 40(a x 10^2)
Now, let's simplify the equation step by step:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 40:
(8x10^3) / 40 = (40(a x 10^2)) / 40
2. Simplify the expression on the left side:
(8x10^3) / 40 = 200
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 10^2:
200 / 10^2 = (a x 10^2) / 10^2
4. Simplify the expression on the left side:
2 = a
Therefore, the value of "a" that makes 8x10^3 be 40 times larger than "a" x 10^2 is a = 2.
