Chapter PPrealgebra Pathways24.a.The place value chart shows that 704,663 contains 7 hundred-thousands, 0 ten-thousands, 4 thousands, 6 hundreds, 6tens, and 3 ones. Thus 704,663 is written in expanded form as follows:704,663700, 0004000600603.b.The place value chart shows that 49,063,400 contains 4 ten-millions, 9 millions, 0 hundred-thousands, 6 ten-thousands, 3 thousands, 4 hundreds, 0 tens, and 0 ones. Thus 49,063,400 is written in expanded form as follows:49, 063, 40040, 000, 0009, 000, 00060, 0003000400.5.a.145because 14 is to the right of 5 on the number line.b.016because 0 is to the left of 16 on the number line.6.a.The digit to the right of the thousands digit is 4, which is less than 5. This indicates to leave the thousands digit thesame. Replace all digits to the right with zeros.57, 49857, 000b.The digit to the right of the hundred-thousands digit is 5. This indicates to add one to the hundred-thousands digit.Replace all digits to the right with zeros.4,856,9024,900, 000c.The digit to the right of the thousands digit is 6, which is greater than 5. This implies to add one to the thousandsdigit. Replace all digits to the right with zeros.960210, 000d.The digit to the right of the millions digit is 2, which is less than 5. This implies to leave the millions digit the same.Replace all digits to the right with zeros.684, 236, 042684, 000, 0007.a.The digit to the right of the billions digit is 5. This implies to add one to the billions digit. Replace all digits to theright with zeros.7,599, 445,1838, 000,000, 000b.The digit to the right of the ten-thousands digit is 5. This implies to add one to the ten-thousands digit. Replace alldigits to the right with zeros.7,599, 445,1837,599, 450, 000c.The digit to the right of the thousands digit is 1, which is less than 5. This implies to leave the thousands digit thesame. Replace all digits to the right with zeros.7,599, 445,1837,599, 445, 0008.a.The cost of a coronary bypass in the United States is $67,583b.The country with the least amount in the CT scan column is India.The average cost for this procedure in India is $43.c.The charge for an appendectomy in Chile is $5509. The countries in which an appendectomy costs more than inChile are Canada, Switzerland, and United States.9.a.We begin with the number of marriages between an African-American husband and a white wife in 2010. Look atthe bars labeled with the year 2010. The yellow bar to the right represents the number of marriages between anAfrican-American husband and a white wife. The number above this bar is 390, representing 390 thousand. Thus, in2010, there were 390,000 marriages between an African-American husband and a white wife.b.Look for the red bar labeled 61 (for 61 thousand, or 61,000). This is the bar to the left for the year labeled 1990.Thus, in 1990, there were 61,000 marriages between a white husband and an African-American wife.
