A.10¹⁵
B.10⁵⁴
C.20¹⁵
D.100¹⁵
E.20⁵⁴​

Answer 1

A. 1*10¹⁵ = 10¹⁵

Explanation:

One million = 1*10⁶

One Billion = 1*10⁹

(One million)(one billion) = (1*10⁶)(1*10⁹) = (1*10⁶⁺⁹)

= 1*10¹⁵

Answer 2

The answer is D.) 100^15

The word “product” refers to multiplication,

Therefore, when the question asks for the product of 1 million and 1 billion, they are asking what 1 million times 1 billion equals.

Since 1 million equals 10^6 and 1 billion equals 10^9, that would mean you multiply 10^6 x 10^9

Multiply the base and add the exponent, and that should give you your answer:

100^15
