Let n be the number of five-digit positive integers which are divisible by 36 and have their tens digit and unit digit equal. Find n/100

1.) 10044

2.) 100.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Since n is a number of five-digit positive integers which are divisible by 36, start multiplying 36 by number. Starting from 278.

Five digits numbers start from multiplying 36 by 278. Any multiplication below 278 by 36 will give four digits numbers.

36 × 278 = 10,008

36 × 279 = 10,044

10,044 tens digit and unit digit equal. Therefore n = 10044

To find n/100, divide 10044 by 100

10044 / 100 = 100.44

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

hope this !
