Answer 1

Given an asteroid travels at 3^6 miles per minute. i.e, It travels in 1 minute = 3^6 miles So, travels in 3^4 minutes = 3^4 times 3^6 miles = 3^10 miles (b) Given there are 16^12 people living in a region of 4^14 square miles. Ie., In 4^14 square miles = 16^12 people So, In 1 square miles = 16^12/4^14 people = 4^24/4^14 = 4^10
