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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 6

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! 👍🤞

Answer 9

Thanks for ur help Amanda. <=

Answer 10

Thanks, Amanda!

Answer 11

thx

Answer 12

so is it 10^6???

Answer 13

Thanks Amanda always

Answer 14

Thanks Amanda you helped a lot :)

Answer 15

Thanks so much amanda :3

Answer 16

Thank chu~💜

Answer 17

@3.14159265359 your on the right track but it would be exponent 5 because one of the zeros is in the ten so the exponent would be 5 because there is 5 extra zeros NOT counting the one in the 10

Answer 18

never mind im stupid your right 3.14159265359 it is that, so everyone ignore my comment above

Answer 19

So its just 10^6?

Answer 20

its 100,000,000 i hot an 💯
