The pictures show three types of gadgets produced by a factory.

A B

 

 

\(710\text{ million}\)

 

 

\(0.56\text{ million}\)

C

\(4\ 905\ 127\)

 

How many more gadgets does C have compared to B?

ANSWER:
\(4\,905\,127-0.56\ \text{million}=\)

STEP 1 STEP 2
\(\begin{aligned} 0.56\text{ million}&=0.56\;\times1\,000\,000 \\&=560\,000 \end{aligned}\) \(\begin{array} {rr} \small{\color{red}{8}}\, \small{\color{red}{10}}\quad\quad\;\;\;\,\, \\\space\space4\;\space\cancel{9}\space\cancel{0}\space5\;\space1\space2\space7 \\-\quad\;\space5\space6\space0\;\space0\space0\space0 \\\hline\space\space4\;\space3\space4\space5\;\space1\space2\space7 \\\hline \end{array}\)


So, the number of gadgets C is more than \(4\ 345\ 127\) compared to the number of gadgets B.

\(1\ 200\ 000\) pairs of gloves are to be packed equally into several plastic packages. Each plastic package has \(10\) pairs of gloves. How many plastic packages of gloves are produced? Give the answer in a whole number and in decimal of a million.

ANSWER:
\(1\,200\,000\;\div\;10=\)

STEP 1 STEP 2
\(\begin{aligned}\frac{1\;200\;00\cancel{0}}{1\cancel{0}} =120\;000\quad\quad\quad \end{aligned}\) \(120\;000\div\;1\;000\;000=0.12\text{ million}\)


So, the number of plastic packages of gloves produced is \(120\ 000\) or \(0.12\text{ million}\).
