1081010
The expression that leaves you with the smallest number on the number line is:
(10−2)−2
are you sure
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, (10−2)−2 does not leave you with the smallest number on the number line. The correct expression that leaves you with the smallest number is:
the fraction with numerator 10 to the 8th power and denominator 10 to the 8th power
one more question is 1 less than 1/100?
No, 1 is not less than 1/100. 1/100 is a smaller value than 1.
so the correct answer is 10 to the 8th power/ 10 to the 10th power
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Yes, you are correct. The expression that leaves you with the smallest number on the number line is:
10 to the 8th power divided by 10 to the 10th power, which can be written as 10^8/10^10.
