Question

In Fermi’s method for estimating large numbers, he uses a power of 10 to estimate the upper and lower bound. Which answer choice contains powers of 10?

A. 1, 2, 3, 4, …

B. 10, 20, 30, 40, …

C. 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, …

D. 5, 10, 15, 20, …

Answer 1

Choice C

Explanation:

Choice C Would be powers of 10 because powers of ten contain a one then 0's behind it. Choice C portrays that.

10= 10^1

100= 10^2

1000=10^3

See the pattern?

That is how you do powers of ten
