Lesson 14
Adding and Subtracting with Scientific Notation
Problem 1
Evaluate each expression, giving the answer in scientific notation:
- \(5.3 \times 10^4 + 4.7 \times 10^4\)
- \(3.7 \times 10^6 - 3.3 \times 10^6\)
- \(4.8 \times 10^{\text-3} + 6.3 \times 10^{\text-3}\)
- \(6.6 \times 10^{\text-5} - 6.1 \times 10^{\text-5}\)

-
Name one combination of 8 fruits shown on the graph that whose cost does not total to $10.
-
Name one combination of fruits shown on the graph whose cost totals to $10 that are not 8 fruits all together.
-

Ecologists measure the body length and wingspan of 127 butterfly specimens caught in a single field.
- Draw a line that you think is a good fit for the data.
- Write an equation for the line.
- What does the slope of the line tell you about the wingspans and lengths of these butterflies?
