Lesson 1.8: Use Powers of 10 to Estimate Quantities

Lesson 1.8

Use Powers of 10 to Estimate Quantites​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Estimating Very Large Quantities:

​We can use powers of 10 to estimate properties

We do this so we can write them in a format that is easier to compare

Take the estimated population of China for example: 1,402,941,487
