A certain computer can perform 10 to the 5th power calculations per second. How many calculations can it perform in 10 seconds?

Respuesta :

Well, first, 10 to the 5th power is 100,000. So, it can calculate 100,000 per second. The question asks how many calculations can it perform in 10 seconds, so you are going to do 100,000x10. Your answer should be 1,000,000. So, it can calculate 1,000,000 in 10 seconds!

Answer:

Computer can do the calculations = [tex]10^{6}[/tex] in 10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in this question that a certain computer can perform number of calculations = [tex]10^{5}[/tex] per second

It has been asked that how many calculations it can perform in 10 seconds.

Since number of calculations in t seconds can be represented by

Number of calculations = Calculations done in one second × t

Where t = time

By replacing t = 10 seconds

Number of calculations = [tex]10^{5}\times 10[/tex]

                                       = [tex]10^{6}[/tex]

Computer can do the calculations = [tex]10^{6}[/tex] in 10 seconds
