What is exponents and powers?

Exponent refers to the number of times a number is used in a multiplication. Power can be defined as a number being multiplied by itself a specific number of times. Exponent is the number to which a number is raised so as to define its power as a whole expression.

In 1995 : 1.8 * [tex]10^{11 }[/tex]

In 1965: 7.2 * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

So, the difference will be

= 1.8 * [tex]10^{11 }[/tex]  - 7.2 * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

= 1.8 * [tex]10^{10}*10[/tex] - 7.2 * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

=18 * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex] - 7.2 * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

= (18-7.2)  * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

=10.8  * [tex]10^{10 }[/tex]

= 1.08 * [tex]10^{11}[/tex]

Hence, the number of pieces of mail in 1995 more than 1965 by = 1.08 * [tex]10^{11}[/tex]
