Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 12 Exercise Answer Key<\/h3>\n

Exercise 1.
\nA certain brand of MP3 player will display how long it will take to play through its entire music library. If the maximum number of songs the MP3 player can hold is 1,000 (and the average song length is 4 minutes), would you want the time displayed in terms of seconds-, days-, or years-worth of music? Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nIt makes the most sense to have the time displayed in days because numbers such as 240,000 seconds-worth of music and \\(\\frac{5}{657}\\) of a year are more difficult to understand than about 2.8 days.<\/p>\n

Exercise 2.
\nYou have been asked to make frosted cupcakes to sell at a school fundraiser. Each frosted cupcake contains about 20 grams of sugar. Bake sale coordinators expect 500 people will attend the event. Assume everyone who attends will buy a cupcake; does it make sense to buy sugar in grams, pounds, or tons? Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nBecause each cupcake contains about 20 grams of sugar, we will need 500\u00d720 grams of sugar. Therefore, grams are too small of a measurement, while tons are too large. Therefore, the sugar should be purchased in pounds.<\/p>\n

Exercise 3.
\nThe seafloor spreads at a rate of approximately 10 cm per year. If you were to collect data on the spread of the seafloor each week, which unit should you use to record your data? Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nThe seafloor spreads 10 cm per year, which is less than 1 cm per month. Data will be collected each week, so it makes the most sense to measure the spread with a unit like millimeters.<\/p>\n

Exercise 4.
\nShow that the mass of a proton is 0.938 \\(\\frac{\\mathrm{GeV}}{c^{2}}\\).
\nAnswer:
\nLet x represent the number of gigaelectronvolts equal to the mass of a proton.
\nx(\\(\\frac{\\mathrm{GeV}}{c^{2}}\\))=mass of proton
\nx(1.783\u00d710-27<\/sup>)=1.672622\u00d710-27<\/sup>
\nx=(1.672622\u00d710-27<\/sup>)\/(1.783\u00d710-27<\/sup>)
\n=\\(\\frac{1.672622}{1.783}\\)
\n\u22480.938<\/p>\n

Exercise 5.
\nThe distance of the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) to the sun is approximately 4.013 336 473\u00d71013<\/sup> km. Show that Proxima Centauri is 4.2421 light-years from the sun.
\nAnswer:
\nLet x represent the number of light-years Proxima Centauri is from the sun.
\nx(9.46073\u00d71012<\/sup>)=4.013336473\u00d71013<\/sup>
\nx=\\(\\frac{4.013336473 \\times 10^{13}}{9.46073 \\times 10^{12}}\\)
\n=\\(\\frac{4.013336473}{9.46073}\\)\u00d710
\n=0.424210021\u00d710
\n\u22484.2421<\/p>\n

Exercise 6.
\nWhat new unit might you introduce in order to discuss the differences in diameter measurements?
\nAnswer:
\nThere are several answers that students could give for their choice of unit. Accept any reasonable answer, provided the explanation is clear and correct. Some students may choose 10-12<\/sup> as their unit because all measurements could then be expressed without exponential notation. Other students may decide that 10-8<\/sup> should be the unit because two measurements are already of that order of magnitude. Still, other students may choose 10-10<\/sup> because that is the average of the powers.<\/p>\n

Exercise 7.
\nName your unit, and explain why you chose it.
\nAnswer:
\nStudents can name their unit anything reasonable, as long as they clearly state what their unit is and how it will be written. For example, if a student chooses a unit of 10-10<\/sup>, then he or she should state that the unit will be represented with a letter. For example, Y, then Y=10-10<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Exercise 8.
\nUsing the unit you have defined, rewrite the five diameter measurements.
\nAnswer:
\nUsing the unit Y=10-10<\/sup>, then:

Exploratory Challenge 1.
\nFinally, let us look at an example involving the masses of the planets in our solar system. They range from Mercury\u2019s 3.3022\u00d71023<\/sup> kg to Jupiter\u2019s 1.8986\u00d71027<\/sup> kg. However, Earth\u2019s mass is the fourth heaviest among the eight planets3<\/sup>, and it seems reasonable to use it as the point of reference for discussions among planets. Therefore, a new unit is ME<\/sub>, the mass of the Earth, or 5.97219\u00d71024<\/sup> kg.
\nSuggested white-board activity: Show students the table below, leaving the masses for Mercury and Jupiter blank. Demonstrate how to rewrite the mass of Mercury in terms of the new unit, ME<\/sub>. Then, have students rewrite the mass of Jupiter using the new unit. Finally, complete the chart with the rewritten masses.<\/p>\n

Mercury: Let x represent the mass of Mercury in the unit ME<\/sub>. We want to determine what number times the new unit is equal to the mass of Mercury in kilograms. Since ME<\/sub>=5.97219\u00d71024<\/sup>, then:
\n(5.97219\u00d71024<\/sup> )x=3.3022\u00d71023<\/sup>
\nx=\\(\\frac{3.3022 \\times 10^{23}}{5.97219 \\times 10^{24}}\\)
\n= \\(\\frac{3.3022}{5.97219}\\) \u00d7 \\(\\frac{10^{23}}{10^{24}}\\)
\n\u22480.553\u00d7101-<\/sup>
\n=0.0553.
\nMercury\u2019s mass is 0.0553 ME<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

Jupiter: Let x represent the mass of Jupiter in the unit ME<\/sub>. We want to determine what number times the new unit is equal to the mass of Jupiter in kilograms. Since ME<\/sub>=5.97219\u00d71024<\/sup>, then:
\n(5.97219\u00d71024<\/sup> )x=1.8986\u00d71027<\/sup>
\nx=\\(\\frac{1.8986 \\times 10^{27}}{5.97219 \\times 10^{24}}\\)
\n=\\(\\frac{1.8986}{5.97219}\\)\u00d7\\(\\frac{10^{27}}{10^{24}}\\)
\n\u22480.318\u00d7103<\/sup>
\n=318.
\nJupiter\u2019s mass is 318 ME<\/sub>.

Question 1.
\nThe table below shows an approximation of the national debt at the beginning of each decade over the last century. Choose a unit that would make a discussion about the growth of the national debt easier. Name your unit, and explain your choice.
\n\"Engage
\nAnswer:
\nStudents will likely choose 1011<\/sup> as their unit because the majority of the data is of that magnitude. Accept any reasonable answer that students provide. Verify that they have named their unit.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nUsing the new unit you have defined, rewrite the debt for years 1900, 1930, 1960, and 2000.
\nAnswer:
\nLet D represent the unit 1011<\/sup>. Then, the debt in 1900 is 0.021D, in 1930 it is 0.16D, in 1960 it is 2.9D, and 57D in 2000.<\/p>\n

\nWhat new unit might you introduce in order to aid discussion of the masses in this problem? Name your unit, and express it using some power of 10. Rewrite each number using your newly defined unit.
\nAnswer:
\nA very motivated student may search the Internet and find that units exist that convert large masses to reasonable numbers, such as petagrams (1012<\/sup> kg), exagrams (1015<\/sup> kg), or zetagrams (1018<\/sup> kg). More likely, students will decide that something near 1020<\/sup> should be used as a unit because many of the numbers are near that magnitude. There is one value, 1.8\u00d71012<\/sup>, that serves as an outlier and should be ignored because it is much smaller than the majority of the data. Students can name their unit anything reasonable. The answers provided are suggestions, but any reasonable answers should be accepted.
\nLet U be defined as the unit 1020<\/sup>.
