Question

Tap on the correct exponent $(?)$ to the base $10$ in the following: $6.05\times {10}^{?}=6,050$.

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $3$

$\underset{–}{\text{Need to find:}}$ The exponent $(?)$ in $6.05\times {10}^{?}=6,050$

We know that multiplying $6.05$ by $1,000$ is responsible to move the decimal point $3$ units to the right, i.e., $6.05\times 1,000=6,050.0=6,050$.

$\therefore 6.05\times 1,000=6.05\times {10}^3=6,050.0=6,050$

Hence, the exponent $(?)$ in $6.05\times {10}^{?}=6,050$ is $\underset{–}{3}$.
