How do I work out this problem? And then compare it to 1 whole.
0.003 * 10^2=
0.003 * 10^2=
0.003 * 100 = 0.3 = 3 parts of a whole.
Thanks
You are welcome.
To work out this problem, you need to multiply 0.003 by 10 raised to the power of 2.
First, let's multiply 0.003 by 10:
0.003 * 10 = 0.03
Then, we need to raise the result, 0.03, to the power of 2:
0.03^2 = 0.03 * 0.03 = 0.0009
So, 0.003 * 10^2 = 0.0009
To compare this result to 1 whole, you can express 1 whole as a decimal.
1 whole = 1.00
Now, compare the value you obtained (0.0009) to 1.00. You can see that 0.0009 is significantly smaller than 1.00.
Therefore, 0.003 * 10^2 is much less than 1 whole.
