Sara and Sam are each working on a science project in which they need to research the individual masses of the nine planets (including the dwarf planet Pluto as the ninth planet). Sara completes her data for the planets' masses in kilograms while Sam's data is in milligrams. Use the following data tables to complete parts I, II, and III. Sara:

Planet Mass (in kilograms)
Jupiter 1.989 · 10^27
Saturn 5.685 · 10^26
Neptune 1.024 · 10^26
Uranus 8.681 · 10^25
Earth 5.974 · 10^24
Venus 4.869 · 10^24
Mars 6.419 · 10^23
Mercury 3.302 · 10^23
Pluto 1.31 · 10^22
Sam:

Planet Mass (in milligrams)
Jupiter 1.989 · 10^33
Saturn 5.685 · 10^32
Neptune 1.024 · 10^32
Uranus 8.681 · 10^31
Earth 5.974 · 10^30
Venus 4.869 · 10^30
Mars 6.419 · 10^29
Mercury 3.302 · 10^29
Pluto 1.31 · 10^28
Part I: Although both data tables represent correct data for each of the planet’s masses, who represented Jupiter’s mass with the most appropriate units, Sara or Sam?
Part II: In two or more complete sentences, explain your reasoning for your answer in Part I.
Part III: Use multiplication, division, and scientific notation to show that Sara’s representation of Jupiter’s mass in kilograms is equal to Sam’s representation of Jupiter’s mass in milligrams.
Use milligrams to prove that 1.989 · 10^27 kilograms is equal to 1.989 · 10^33 milligrams.
Use kilograms to prove that 1.989 · 10^33 milligrams is equal to 1.989 · 10^27 kilograms.

For a school newspaper article, cienna conducted a survey to find out students’ favorite subjects. she polled all the students in mrs. lopez’s advanced dance class. why is her data likely to be skewed? honors dance students are more likely to enjoy dance than students in the general population, so dance may be overrepresented. cienna should have interviewed all the students in the school to get more accurate data. honors dance students are more likely to enjoy dance than students in the general population, so dance will be underrepresented. cienna should have interviewed only every other student in the class to avoid having too many people.
