A certain computer can perform 10^5 calculations per second. how many calculations can it perform in 10 seconds

well, what's 10*10^5 ?

1,000,000

To determine the number of calculations a computer can perform in a given amount of time, we can multiply the number of calculations it can perform per second by the number of seconds.

In this case, the computer can perform 10^5 calculations per second, and we want to know how many calculations it can perform in 10 seconds.

Calculations = calculations per second x seconds

Calculations = 10^5 x 10

Calculations = 10^6

Therefore, the computer can perform 10^6 calculations in 10 seconds.
