Problem 2
Write each expression as a single power of 10.
- \(\frac{10^3 \boldcdot 10^4}{10^5}\)
- \((10^4) \boldcdot \frac{10^{12}}{10^7}\)
- \(\left(\frac{10^5}{10^3}\right)^4\)
- \(\frac{10^4 \boldcdot 10^5 \boldcdot 10^6}{10^3 \boldcdot 10^7}\)
- \(\frac{(10^5)^2}{(10^2)^3}\)

(From Unit 4, Lesson 8.)Problem 6
Bananas cost $1.50 per pound, and guavas cost $3.00 per pound. Kiran spends $12 on fruit for a breakfast his family is hosting. Let \(b\) be the number of pounds of bananas Kiran buys and \(g\) be the number of pounds of guavas he buys.
- Write an equation relating the two variables.
- Rearrange the equation so \(b\) is the independent variable.
- Rearrange the equation so \(g\) is the independent variable.
