Question

56X10 small 2 next to the 10

Answer 1

56*10^2=56*100=5600

answer is 5600

Answer 2

The small 2 is called an exponent.
56 x
`10^(2)`
When exponents are used, they mean multiply that number that many times the exponent says. So right now it says
`10^(2)` which means 10 x 10 = 100
-Another Example:
`3^(3)` = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
So now it's 56 x 100 = 5600
I hope this was understandable. :)
