Answer:
3. 10000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Number of gumball cartons = 3
Number of boxes per carton = 100
Number of gumballs per box = 100
The number of gumballs can be expressed in the form : (a. 10) ; where ; a = prime number ; b = whole number
Values of a and b?
Total number of gumballs :
Number of carton × number of boxes per carton × number of gumballs per box
3 × 100 × 100
Hence, writing the expression in the form: a. 10
a. 10 = 3 × 10000
