Question

What is the value of $6\times {10}^2$?

• A. $60$
• B. $600$
• C. $6,000$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B $600$

$\underset{–}{\text{Need to find:}}$ The value of $6\times {10}^2$

In ${10}^2$,
$\bullet \text{Base}=10$
$\bullet \text{Exponent}=2$

As the exponent in ${10}^2$ is $2$, in the number form of ${10}^2$, the number of zeros after $1$ should be $2$.
$\therefore 6\times {10}^2=6\times 100$

Now, to get the value of $6\times 100$, we need to only put two zeros after $6$.

Hence, $6\times {10}^2=6\times 100=\underset{–}{600}$

$\therefore$ Option (b.) is the correct one.
