Grant and Stan brought home candy from a valentines party at school. Grant had 3 candy bars and Stan had 5 candy bars. They had to share their candy with their little brother, Frank. After their mother divided the candy equally between the three of them, Frank found 8 dimes and wanted to pay his brothers for the candy they shared with him. How many dimes does Frank give to each brother?

Out of the 8 dimes found Frank gives Grant 1 dime and he gives Stan 7 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the question are;

The number of candy bars Grant had = 3 candy bars

The number of candy bars Stan had = 5 candy bars

The candy was shared equally between them and Frank

The amount Frank found and wants to use to pay his brothers = 8 dimes

The total number of candies = 3 candy bars + 5 candy bars = 8 candy bars

The number of candy each of the three brothers received = 8/3 candies each

The amount of candy given by Grant = 3 - 8/3 = 1/3 parts of candy

The amount of candy given by Stan = 5 - 8/3 = 7/3 candy parts

Therefore, of the 8/3 part of candy Frank received, 1/3 was from Grant and 7/3 was from Stan

We have;

8/3 candy parts = 8 × 1/3 candy parts

1/3 candy part = 1 × 1/3 candy part

7/3 candy part = 7 × 1/3 candy parts

The candy Frank received can be split into 8 parts of 1/3 candy parts with 1 part from grant and 7 parts from Stan

Therefore, Frank should give 1 dime to Grant and 7 dimes to Stan for the number of candy parts received from each of the brothers

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?

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.
