Question

(I need this done ASAP thanks) Jackson has three cartons of gumballs. There are 100 boxes in each carton. There are 100 gumballs in each box. The number of gumballs Jackson has can be expressed in the form a⋅10^b, where A is a prime number and B is whole number. What are the values of A and B?

Answer 1

A = 3 and B = 2

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in giving the values for A and B

We are told that there are three cartons, with 100 gun balls in each.

The total number of gum balls Jackson have will be 100 + 100 + 100= 300

Now, we want to express 300 in the form a•10^b

Thus;

300 = 3 * 100

3 * 100 = 3 * 10^2

where A = 3 and B = 2
