A leak in a water tank causes the water level to decrease by 3.6×10−23.6×10−2 millimeters each second. About how many millimeters does the water level in the tank decrease in 5 hours, or 1.8×1041.8×104 seconds? Drag and drop the values to the boxes to express the answer in scientific notation.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]6.48 \times 10^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

The leak in a water tank causes the water level to decrease by  [tex]3.6\times 10^{-2}[/tex] millimeter

That is , in 1 second it decreases [tex]3.6\times 10^{-2}[/tex] mm

⇒ In [tex]1.8\times 10^4[/tex] seconds it will decrease  [tex]3.6\times 10^{-2}\times 1.8\times 10^4[/tex] mm

⇒ In [tex]1.8\times 10^4[/tex] seconds it will decrease  [tex]6.48\times 10^{2}[/tex] mm
