Example Question #61 : Grade 8
Solve:
In order to solve this problem, we need to recall our exponent rules:
When our base numbers are equal to each other, like in this problem, we can add our exponents together using the following formula:
Let's apply this rule to our problem
Solve for the exponents
We cannot leave this problem in this format because we cannot have a negative exponent. Instead, we can move the base and the exponent to the denominator of a fraction:
Solve the problem

Example Question #63 : Grade 8
Select the number that is equal to four times ten to the fifth power.
Four times ten to the fifth power can be written numerically as the following:
When a number between one and ten is multiplied by a power of ten it is said to be written in scientific notation. This number is currently written in scientific notation.
Even though this appears to be a challenging math problem (i.e. because we have a power of ten), we can simply move our decimal place after the four, or , over spaces to the right using zeros as place holders.
Add commas and simplify.
Example Question #2 : Use Powers Of 10 To Estimate Quantities: Ccss.Math.Content.8.Ee.A.3
Select the number that is equal to three times ten to the seventh power.
Three times ten to the seventh power can be written numerically as the following:
When a number between one and ten is multiplied by a power of ten it is said to be written in scientific notation. This number is currently written in scientific notation.
Even though this appears to be a challenging math problem (i.e. because we have a power of ten), we can simply move our decimal place after the three, or , over spaces to the right using zeros as place holders.
Add commas and simplify.
