Solution

Let's solve each question one by one.

Question 9

10×1052×108\frac{10 \times 10^{-5}}{2 \times 10^{-8}}

  1. Simplify the constants: 102=5\frac{10}{2} = 5

  2. Simplify the powers of 10 using the property 10a10b=10ab\frac{10^a}{10^b} = 10^{a-b}: 105108=10(5)(8)=103\frac{10^{-5}}{10^{-8}} = 10^{(-5) - (-8)} = 10^{3}

  3. Combine the results: 5×1035 \times 10^3

Answer for Question 9: 5×1035 \times 10^3


Question 10

4×1042×1018\frac{4 \times 10^{-4}}{2 \times 10^{-18}}

  1. Simplify the constants: 42=2\frac{4}{2} = 2

  2. Simplify the powers of 10: 1041018=10(4)(18)=1014\frac{10^{-4}}{10^{-18}} = 10^{(-4) - (-18)} = 10^{14}

  3. Combine the results: 2×10142 \times 10^{14}

Answer for Question 10: 2×10142 \times 10^{14}


Question 11

3.51×1022×105\frac{3.51 \times 10^{-2}}{2 \times 10^5}

  1. Simplify the constants: 3.512=1.755\frac{3.51}{2} = 1.755

  2. Simplify the powers of 10: 102105=10(2)5=107\frac{10^{-2}}{10^5} = 10^{(-2) - 5} = 10^{-7}

  3. Combine the results: 1.755×1071.755 \times 10^{-7}

Answer for Question 11: 1.755×1071.755 \times 10^{-7}
