Felicia is a long-distance runner. She is able to run the first 2 hours of a training run at a certain rate. The rate at which she runs after her first 2 hours decreases for the remainder of her training run. On Monday, Felicia runs x hours, where x≥2. The average rate at which Felicia runs for the entire training run is represented by 13+6(x−2)x. What is the meaning of the parts of this rational expression in the context of the situation? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.

 total distance of Felicia's training run

 first two hours  x  = 2so we have

[ 13 + 6(2 - 2)  ]  / 2  =  13 / 2  =  distance / rate  =  = 6.5  mph ⇒  "c"

 distance covered in 4 hrs  =

 [13 + 6( 4 - 2) ]  =  13 + 6(2)  =  13 + 12  =  25 miles

 But  she ran  13 miles the first two hours

 Soshe must run 12 miles the last two hours   ⇒   "c"

-232

step-by-step explanation:

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.
