To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 20.8km + 9.4km
total distance = 30.4km

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.

If 34% of the town's 28,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{34}{100} \)) x 28,000 = \( \frac{952,000}{100} \) = 9,520

The mayor got 83% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{83}{100} \)) x 9,520 = \( \frac{790,160}{100} \) = 7,902 votes.

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10^exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.0008687 in scientific notation is 8.687 x 10^-4

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
