a computer can preform 10^5 problems in one second. How many problems can in it do in 10 seconds I just need help solving this and having someone explain it to me
Answered by Steve
10^5 * 10^1 = 10^(5+1) = 10^6
Answered by frgdhsjak
So why would you do 10^1 ?
Answered by frgdhsjak
Also wouldn't that just be increasing it by one second....
Answered by Steve
If you can do x problems in one second, then you can do 10x in 10 seconds, right?

So, multiply x (10^5) by 10, which is just 10^1

increasing by one second would be just adding another 10^5, making it 10^5 + 10^5 = 10^5 * 2, not 10^5 * 10

Looks like you need to review the difference between addition and multiplication ...
