Question 18

Squaring Decimals w/ Zeroes

(0.00005)² = ?

Answer 18

Double the amount of decimal places NOT just the zeroes.

• So…*
  (0. 00005)² has a total of 5 decimals places to the right of decimal point
• Therefore…*

The result should have 2x5 (10) decimals places to the right of the decimal point. THIS INCLUDES THE ACTUAL SQUARED #

ANSWER =

.0000000025

(10 total decimal places to the right of the decimal point)
