Question

Evaluate by correctly positioning the decimal point: 42.291 divided by 10^-4

Answer 1

Answer:

By evaluating correctly the answer is 422910.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

42.291 divided by 10^-4.

Now, evaluating:

$42.291\div 10^{-4}$

Now, we will change the exponent from negative to positive.

$42.291\div \frac{1}{10^{4}}$

Now, we change the division to multiplication.

$42.291\times 10^{4}$

And, we will break the exponent.

$42.291\times 10\times 10\times 10\times 10$

$=42.291\times 10000$

$=422910.$

Therefore, by evaluating correctly the answer is 422910.
