Answer: We can use the information given to find the number of stars in the universe by multiplying the number of galaxies by the number of stars per galaxy:

number of stars = (10 ^ 11 galaxies) x (10 ^ 11 stars per galaxy)

This is a simple arithmetic problem and we can find the solution by multiplying the numbers 10^11 and 10^11

10^11 * 10^11 = (10101010101010101010)(101010101010101010*10) = 10^(11+11) = 10^22

So, there are estimated to be 10 ^ 22 stars in the known universe.
