Amanufacturer of bicycles has 4815 wheels, 2305 frames, and 2255 handlebars. (a) how many bicycles can be manufactured using these parts

A manufacturer of bicycles has 4815 wheels, 2305 frames, and 2255 handlebars.

First, each bicycle has 2 wheels, so the total pairs of wheels is 4815/2 = 2507.5

The total amount of bicycles that the manufacturer can make is equal to the smallest number of a determined part that he has, in this case is 2255.

This is because he only has 2255 handlebars, after he makes 2255 bicycles, he runs out of handlebars, and can not make more.

then with the parts listed in the problem, the manufacturer can do 2255 bicycles

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.

it is x=-4
