Question

Mandy has six boxes of pencils each box contains 10 to the fifth power of pencils how many pencils does Mandy have

Answer 1

You have to do 10•10•10•10•10 (multiply 10, 5 times). Once you multiply 10 five times, you end up with an answer of 100,000 pencils in each box. Then since you have 6 boxes of pencils you have to multiply 100,000•6, which equals 600,000 pencils total.
