Understanding Powers of 10

What does the first law of powers of 10 state?

• The number of zeros in a power of 10 is unrelated to the exponent.

• The number of zeros in a power of 10 matches the exponent.

• The number of zeros in a power of 10 is double the exponent.

• The number of zeros in a power of 10 is half the exponent.

If you have 10 to the power of 4, how many times is 10 multiplied by itself?

• 5 times

• 4 times

• 3 times

• 2 times

According to the second law, what is the pattern observed in powers of 10?

• The result is always 100.

• The exponent is always 1.

• The number of multiplications equals the exponent.

• The base number changes.

What happens to the product when multiplying a number by 10 to the power of 3?

• The product has no zeros.

• The product remains the same.

• The product has 3 fewer zeros than the original number.

• The product has 3 more zeros than the original number.

In the third law, what is the relationship between the exponent and the zeros in the product?

• The product has half as many zeros as the exponent.

• The product has the same number of zeros as the exponent.

• The product has twice as many zeros as the exponent.

• The product has no zeros.
