Question

Match each number with its estimated power of 10

Answer 1

The matching numbers are:

1) 0.0000225 = 2 x 10⁻⁵

2) 219,000 = 2 x 10⁵

3) 3,40,000 = 3 x 10⁶

4) 297,000 = 3 x 10⁵

5) 0.0000034 = 3 x 10⁻⁶

What are Exponents?

The exponent of a number indicates how many times a number has been multiplied by itself. For instance, 34 indicates that we have multiplied 3 four times. Its full form is 3 3 3 3. Exponent is another name for a number's power. A whole number, fraction, negative number, or decimal are all acceptable.

We have to match the following terms :

1) 0.0000225 = 2 x 10⁻⁵
we can write 0.0000225 as
2.25 / 100000
or, 2.25 / 10⁵
then, 2.25 x 10⁻⁵

2) 219,000 =  2 x 10⁵
as the numbers after 2 are 5
therefore we write 10⁵

3) 3,40,000 = 3 x 10⁶
as the numbers after 3 are 6
therefore we write 10⁶

4) 297,000 = 3 x 10⁵
we round off 297 as 300
as the numbers after 3 are 5
therefore we write 10⁵

5) 0.0000034 = 3 x 10⁻⁶
we can write 0.0000034 as
3.4/ 1000000
or, 3.4 / 10⁶
then, 3.4x 10⁻⁶

Hence, the matching numbers are:
1) 0.0000225 = 2 x 10⁻⁵
2) 219,000 = 2 x 10⁵
3) 3,40,000 = 3 x 10⁶
4) 297,000 = 3 x 10⁵
5) 0.0000034 = 3 x 10⁻⁶
