how many times less is 10^2 than 10^6? express your answer as an integer power of 10
10^4
10,000
0.0001
10^-4
Roughly, it takes light less than 0.000000003 of a second to travel a one meter distance. Express this number in the form of a x 10^72 where 1 < a < 10 and is a one digit number.
3 x 10^9
3 x 10^8
3 x 10^-9
3 x 10 ^-8
To express the number in the form of a x 10^72, we need to move the decimal point 72 places to the right.
Given that it takes light less than 0.000000003 of a second to travel a one meter distance, we can rewrite this number as 3 x 10^-9 since moving the decimal point 9 places to the right results in a value less than 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is 3 x 10^-9.
To find out how many times less 10^2 is than 10^6, we need to divide 10^6 by 10^2.
10^6 / 10^2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4.
Therefore, 10^2 is 10^4 times less than 10^6.
To determine how many times less 10^2 is than 10^6, you can divide the two values:
10^6 / 10^2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4
Therefore, 10^2 is 10^4 times less than 10^6.
10^2 is 10,000 times less than 10^6.
Therefore, the answer is expressed as 10^-4.
