A computer performs a calculation in 2.5*10-5 seconds to solve a math problem. How long does the computer need to calculate the solutions to 3*106 math problems? (standard form)
Added by Dolores W.
Step 1
The computer takes \(2.5 \times 10^{-5}\) seconds to solve one math problem. This is given in scientific notation, where \(2.5 \times 10^{-5}\) seconds means 0.000025 seconds. Show more…
