are you sure
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, (10−2)−2 does not leave you with the smallest number on the number line. The correct expression that leaves you with the smallest number is:
the fraction with numerator 10 to the 8th power and denominator 10 to the 8th power
the fraction with numerator 10 to the 8th power and denominator 10 to the 8th power
one more question is 1 less than 1/100?
No, 1 is not less than 1/100. 1/100 is a smaller value than 1.
so the correct answer is 10 to the 8th power/ 10 to the 10th power
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Yes, you are correct. The expression that leaves you with the smallest number on the number line is:
10 to the 8th power divided by 10 to the 10th power, which can be written as 10^8/10^10.
10 to the 8th power divided by 10 to the 10th power, which can be written as 10^8/10^10.
