write all the steps to solve the following problem. explain your steps as you solve it.
a certain computer can perform 10^5 calculations per second. how many calculations can it perform in 10 seconds?
10^6 so that is the final answer
what am i suppose to label it as
calculations
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the number of calculations per second by the duration in seconds. In this case, we are given that the computer can perform 10^5 calculations per second and we need to find out how many calculations it can perform in 10 seconds.
Step 1: Write down the given information:
- Number of calculations per second: 10^5 (or 100,000)
- Duration in seconds: 10
Step 2: Use the formula to calculate the total number of calculations:
Total calculations = Number of calculations per second x Duration in seconds
Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula:
Total calculations = 10^5 x 10
Step 4: Evaluate the expression:
Total calculations = 1,000,000
Step 5: Write down the final answer:
The computer can perform 1,000,000 calculations in 10 seconds.
When multiplying, exponents are added.
10^5 * 10^1 = ?
