(a) You are given that 246x17 = 4182 Explain how you use this calculation to work out the value of 2460 x 1700
and
(b) 16x3 is 48. Use this to work out the answer to 0.16 x 0.3, showing how you do so.

246×17=4182

2460×1700=4182000

(one zero on the end+2 zeroes in the end=3 zeroes in the end on the answer)

16×3=48

0,16×0,3=0,048

(2 numbers after comma+1 number after comma=3 numbers after comma in the answer)

step-by-step explanation:

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
