Answer :
Answer:
It is would take the computer
[tex]4.0\times10^8\text{ seconds}[/tex]to perform
[tex]6.0\times10^{16}\text{ calculations}[/tex]Explanation:
Given that the computer performs
[tex]\text{1}.5\times10^8[/tex]per second.
We want to find how many seconds it woult take it to perform:
[tex]6.0\times10^{16}[/tex]Let x represent the number of seconds it will take, then
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.5\times10^8x=6.0\times10^{16} \\ \\ x=\frac{6.0\times10^{16}}{1.5\times10^8} \\ \\ =\frac{6.0}{1.5}\times10^{16-8} \\ \\ =4.0\times10^8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
