Question

10^8
10 + 10
d 10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10
what place value would the \1\ be after this exponent is written in standard form?
a ten million
b hundred million
c billion
d hundred billion

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent meaning

$10^n$ means 1 followed by $n$ zeros. For $10^8$, $n = 8$, so it's 1 followed by 8 zeros.

Step2: Write $10^8$ in standard form

$10^8 = 100000000$. Now, identify the place value of 1 in 100000000.

Step3: Determine place value

In 100000000, the 1 is in the hundred million place (since 100000000 = 1×100000000, and 100000000 is one hundred million).

Answer:

B. hundred million
