math help

Answer 1

I'm not sure how to do this? @Vocaloid

Answer 2

this is a power of ten so simply count the number of zero's

then, since the power of 10 is in the denominator, it ends up being

10^(- number of zero's)

Answer 3

any progress yet? notice how 10,000 has 4 zero's

Answer 4

I'm confused?

Answer 5

well, let's pretend it's 10,000 instead of 1/10,000 first

10,000 has 4 zero's, so we would write this as 10^4

but instead, we put 10,000 in the denominator to get 1/10,000

all this does is add a negative sign in front of the power to get 10^(-4) = your solution

Answer 6

hold up you want me to solve 10^(-4)?

Answer 7

it's asking you to write 1/10,000 as a power of 10, which means our answer should be in the form 10^___

following the reasoning above, 1/10,000 is 10^(-4) which is your solution, you don't need to do anything from there.
