Question

A certain computer can perform 10 to the 5th power calculations per second. How many calculations can it perform in 10 seconds?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find out what 10 to the 5th power is equal to. it = 100,000

Step 2: Multiply 100,000 by 10

Step 3: your answer = 1,000,000

Answer 2

just remember 10^5 is equal to 100,000 and this is only for one second. if you multiply 100,000 by 10 you will get how many calculations it can make in 10 seconds.

Thanks a lot Amanda, the only smart one around here!

Answer 4

Amanda's answer is really good, this helped a lot thank you!

Answer 5

what about in exponential form? I don't know what that means

thanks amanda

Answer 7

Thanks Amanda!

Answer 8

I think exponential form means that they want to you have it with an exponent, Thegirlfromafrica. So, if 1,000,000 is the answer, they would want you to answer it like 10^6. (Basically the exponent is how many zeros there are after the one when dealing with a base of 10. In one million there are six zeros following the one, so the exponent is six.) Hope this helps! 👍🤞
