Problem Situation:
Eric is adding water to a 60-gallon pool.
The pool already has 12 gallons of water, and he wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons. The water flows at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.
How many minutes, x, will it take for Eric to fill the pool with at least 27 gallons of water?

Inequality that represents this situation:
27≤12+6x

step-by-step explanation:

fdddff

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.
