The length of a 1-inch paperclip is about 1.6 x 10−5 miles. It takes about 1.5 x 1010 paperclips linked together to reach the moon. What is the approximate distance to the moon? A. 3.1x 10^5 miles

B. 2.4 x 10^-2 miles

C. 3.1x10^-2 miles

D. 2.4 x 10^5 miles

D. 2.4 x 10⁵ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of 1-inch paperclip, L= 1.6 x 10⁻⁵ miles

number of paperclips linked together to reach the moon, n = 1.5 x 10¹⁰

The approximate distance to the moon is calculated as follows;

distance to the moon, d = L x n

distance to the moon, d = 1.6 x 10⁻⁵ miles  x  1.5 x 10¹⁰

distance to the moon, d = 2.4 x 10⁵ miles

Therefore, the approximate distance to the moon is  2.4 x 10⁵ miles.

The correct option is D.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
