Question

Evaluate the following using powers of ten rules. 104)1.042

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0001042

Step-by-step explanation:

Power of tens rule states that if the denominator of a fraction has the positive power of 10, decimal in the numerator will be shifted to the left by the same number of places as exponent.

10⁴) 1.042 = $\frac{1.042}{10^4}$

In the denominator of the given fraction, exponent of 10 = +4

So the decimal in numerator will be shifted left by 4 places.

$\frac{1.042}{10^4}=0.0001042$

Therefore, answer is 0.0001042
