Question

Identify the missing numbers below to show the result of multiplying the numbers. (3.5 × 1016)(2.2 × 1010) = A × 10B

Answer 1

Explanation:

In order to find the value of "a" and "b", first of all perform the multiplication in the parenthesis.

  Thus

(3.5x1016) = 3556

and  (

2.2x1010) = 2222

As per question;

(3556)x(2222) = 10 axb

By dividing both sides by "10"

we get

(3556)x(222.2) = axb

or 

(355.6)x(2222) = axb

by comparing both sides of the equation,  we get that 

a = 3556  and b = 222.2

or

a = 355.6 and b = 2222
