Question

Most English-speaking countries use the short-scale naming system, in which a trillion is expressed as 1,000,000,000,000. Some other countries use the long-scale naming system, in which a trillion is expressed as 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Express each number as a single-digit integer times a power of ten. How many times greater is the long-scale naming system than the short-scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

Short Scale 10^12 Long Scale 10^18

Step-by-step explanation:

Long Scale and Long Scale are bizzare. As stated most English-speaking countries use the Short Scale. This means we always have to check where the number is coming from. In the long scale, billion means one million million (10^12) and trillion means one million billions (10^18), and so on.
