If the expanded form of 2,500 is 2,000 + 500, how would you write the expanded notation as a power of 10 for the number 2,500?

(2 X 103) + (5 X 102)

Explanation:

2,000 = 2 X 103

500 = 5 X 102


300

Find the value: 45 divided by 101

4.5

DIVIDING means to make SMALLER. If I divided a candy bar between three people, each person would get a SMALLER piece than if I ate the whole candy bar by myself.

When dividing by 101, you move the decimal 1 space to the left to make a SMALLER NUMBER. Taking the whole number 45, placing a decimal at the end, and then moving the decimal one place to the left gives us 4.5 which is four and five tenths.

400

If the expanded form of 3,700 is 3,000 + 700, how would you write the expanded notation as a power of 10 for the number 3,700?

(3 X 103) + (7 X 102)

Explanation:

3,000 = 3 X 103

700 = 7 X 102

400

Find the value: 15 X 102

1,500

102 is the same thing as 100, so 15 X 100 = 1,500.

Find the value 273 divided by 103

0.273

DIVIDING means to make SMALLER. If I divided a candy bar between three people, each person would get a SMALLER piece than if I ate the whole candy bar by myself.

When dividing by 103, you move the decimal 3 spaces to the left to make a SMALLER NUMBER. Taking the whole number 273, placing a decimal at the end, and then moving the decimal three places to the left gives us 0.273 which is two hundred seventy three thousandths.

500

What is the exponential form of 10,000? Give your answer using 10 as the base and an exponent for the power of 10.

104

How would you write expanded notation as a power of 10 for the number 6,200?

(6 X 103) + (2 X 102)

500

Find the value: 842 X 102

84,200

102 is the same thing as 100, so 842 X 100 = 84,200.

500

If you found the value of 278 X 103 and then divided that answer by 104, what would the value be?

278 X 103 = 278,000

278,000 divided by 104 = 27.8

DIVIDING means to make SMALLER. If I divided a candy bar between three people, each person would get a SMALLER piece than if I ate the whole candy bar by myself.

When dividing by 104, you move the decimal 4 spaces to the left to make a SMALLER NUMBER. Taking the whole number 278,000, placing a decimal at the end, and then moving the decimal four places to the left gives us 27.8 which is twenty-seven and eight tenths.
