Please help me with this

a.) The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams. (0.0031 grams)

b.) The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat. (0.0013 grams)

Step-by-step explanation:

2.2 * 10^-3 = 2.2 * 1/1000 which is 2.2/1000.

9 * 10^-4 = 9 * 1/10000 = 9/10000

To add 9/10000 to 2.2/1000 we have to find the common denominator, which will be 10000.

So we do:

2.2/1000 * 10/10 = 22/10000

9/10000 + 22/10000 = 31/10000 = 0.0031.

The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams.

To find how much heavier the fly is than the gnat we do:

22/10000 - 9/10000 = 13/10000 = 0.0013

The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
