Help pleaseeeeee!!

OpenStudy (cedrick12345):

what is ur queston

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If \[10^{a}\times10^{b}\times10^{c}=1,000,000\] and a, b, and c are different positive integers, then \[10^{a}+10^{b}+10^{c}=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find the a, b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u need help still or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i still need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this a tricky 1 sec please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cuz I got a= 50000 b= 40000 c= 10000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry reload

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me to i got a 50000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I do for these kind of questions is I divided 1,000,000 by 2, which is 500000, then I figured out what two other numbers I can add to 500000 to equal 1,000,000. So with the three numbers 100000, 400000, and 500000, I divided all three of them by 10 (because a, b, and c aren't alone; they are 10^a 10^b and 10^c) and I got my answers. But they can be different and still be correct. That's why I need to see what the choices are. If any.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no theres no multiple choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 1,110 you can find this by finding that for each exponent of 10 just adds a 0 to the final answer so for example 10^5 is 100,000 and in this question you have 6 zeros so you have to fin numbers that add up to six so in this case 1,2,3 add up to 6 creating 6 zeros for this.

I hope this helps
