so it would be 4,481 x 10^5

Answer 10

ok. i have one more question. it says...

Perform the indicated operations. Write the answer without exponents
\[25*10^1/5*10^3\]
how would this turn out?

Answer 11

There is a specific order in which you go about to perform operations. A typical was of remembering it the acronym PEMDAS. Which stands for parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract. You perform operations in this order. So you would look for parenthesis and do the operation in them first, then move on to any exponents and so on.

Answer 12

so it would come out to this... 25*100/5*100 then the next step would be 2500/500 then after that the final answer would be 5 if i am correct

Answer 13

ops i meant 25*100/ 5*1000 and then 2500/5000 and the final answer would be 0.5

Answer 14

Close. 10^1 is only 10, not 100.

Answer 15

ooh yeah. sorry
