Question

evaluate. write your answer as a whole number or as a simplified fraction. \\(10^{-1} \cdot 7^{0} = \frac{\quad}{\quad}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate negative exponent

$10^{-1} = \frac{1}{10^1} = \frac{1}{10}$

Step2: Evaluate zero exponent

$7^0 = 1$

Step3: Multiply the two results

$\frac{1}{10} \times 1 = \frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$
