Question

in the united states in 2018, approximately 8,000,000,000 pennies were produced, and approximately 2,000,000,000 quarters were produced. how many times as many pennies were produced as quarters? now calculate \\(\frac{10^9}{10^9}\\) to complete the expression. remember, any number divided by itself is 1. \\(\frac{\text{number of pennies}}{\text{number of quarters}} = \frac{8,000,000,000}{2,000,000,000} = \frac{8 \cdot 10^9}{2 \cdot 10^9}\\) \\(= \frac{8}{2} \cdot \frac{10^9}{10^9}\\) \\(= 4 \cdot \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Analizar la fracción de potencias de 10

Sabemos que cualquier número dividido por sí mismo es 1. Aquí, tenemos $\frac{10^9}{10^9}$.

Step2: Calcular la fracción

Como $10^9$ dividido por $10^9$ es 1 (por la propiedad de que $a^n / a^n = 1$ para $a
eq0$ y $n$ entero), entonces $\frac{10^9}{10^9}=1$.
