Question

Look at the number sentences below. 6 x 10² = 600 1 x 10⁷ = 10,000,000 9 x 10⁵ = 900,000 Explain the pattern in the number of zeros in each product.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

there are a many 0s as the exponent of 10 indicates.

10¹ = 10

10² = 100

10³ = 1000

10⁴ = 10,000

10⁵ = 100,000

...

whatever we have at the beginning, a multiplication by a power of 10 means we add as many 0s as that exponent indicates.
