When Joshua left his house in the morning, his cell phone battery was partially charged. Let B represent the charge remaining in Joshua's battery, as a percentage, t hours since Joshua left his house. The table below has select values showing the linear relationship between t and B. Determine the charge of the battery when Joshua left his house.

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.

its 60

4 x 12 = 48

3 x 4 = 12

48 + 12 = 60

yeeeet
