\nThe Federal Reserve states that the average household in January of 2013 had $7,122 in credit card debt. About how many times greater is the U.S. national debt, which is $16,755,133,009,522? Rewrite each number to the nearest power of 10 that exceeds it, and then compare.
\nAnswer:
\nHousehold debt=7122<9999<10000=104<\/sup>.
\nU.S.debt=16 755 133 009 522<99 999 999 999 999<100 000 000 000 000=1014<\/sup>.
\n\\(\\frac{10^{14}}{10^{4}}\\) =1014-4<\/sup>=1010<\/sup>. The U.S. national debt is 1010<\/sup> times greater than the average household\u2019s credit card debt.<\/p>\n

Given that the U.S. has approximately 4 million square miles of land, is this a reasonable goal for conservationists? Explain. Question 3. Question 4. Most English-speaking countries use the short-scale naming system, in which a trillion is expressed as 1,000,000,000,000. Some other countries use the long-scale naming system, in which a trillion is expressed as 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Express each number as a single-digit integer times a power of ten. How many times greater is the long-scale naming system than the short-scale?

\nU.S. national forests cover approximately 300,000 square miles. Conservationists want the total square footage of forests to be 300,0002<\/sup> square miles. When Ivanna used her phone to do the calculation, her screen showed the following:

\na. What does the answer on her screen mean? Explain how you know.
\nAnswer:
\nThe answer means 9\u00d71010<\/sup>. This is because:
\n(300 000)2<\/sup>=(3\u00d7105<\/sup>)2<\/sup>
\n=32<\/sup>\u00d7(105<\/sup>)2<\/sup>
\n=9\u00d71010<\/sup><\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\n4 000 000=4\u00d7106<\/sup>. It is unreasonable for conservationists to think the current square mileage of forests could increase that much because that number is greater than the number that represents the total number of square miles in the U.S,
