My 5th grader is stuck on a math problem and I tried looking it up. Help please lol
about 10,000 people live in a nearby county. the number 10,000 can be written as 10n where n is a whole number. what is the value of exponet n?
Shay·
Thousand?
Shay··
Like 10(n) or 10 x n?
10 x 1000 = 10000

@mychemicalshaymance, that’s what i was thinking it makes since
Shay··
It'd be easier if they just used x or y 😂 almost everyone can make sense of it then imo lol

I believe n=4, but that would be if they’re working on the scientific notion
Shay··
Curious as to how you got 4?

Well if it’s the kind of problem I think it is it’s asking for 10 raised to the nth power which is just saying using 10 as a factor however many times. So in this case n = 4 10x10x10x10=10000

So if it was asking for 10n of 100000 n would be 5 because 10 can go into 100000 5 times
Shay··
@randysmomma I know that lol but I think if it was to the power of it would be written as 10^n not as 10n

This is why math was not my favorite 🤦🏼♀️

My 6th grader told him 4 also but I said 1000

It’s pretty much just asking about many times 10 can go into 10000 😊
Shay··
What are they working on in math?
Are they doing power or just exponents. Because as it's written it would be 1000 unless it's written as 10^n which would be 4
Shay·
Why do they have to complicate simple math 😂
Kim·

It says exponent he had a bunch of questions this was the only one like that and he said they never did that one in class
Shay··
What are the other ones like?
The EK 💁🏼♀️·
Can you take a pic of the actual problem and post it?
Shay··
I don't know why I didn't think of this 😂

They be teaching these little kids math that looks like doodles to me! I have no idea!

The EK 💁🏼♀️··
The answer is 4.
10x10x10x10=10,000 😊
Shay··
Awwww, yes it's 4 then lol
