A fraction in lowest form is (\frac{p}{2^3\cdot 5^5}). If it is written as (\frac{N}{10^5}), what is (N)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (4p)
Step 1: We need (10^5=2^5\cdot 5^5). Step 2: The denominator (2^3\cdot 5^5) lacks (2^2). So multiply numerator and denominator by (2^2=4). Hence (N=4p). Step 3: To make (10^k), multiply by the missing prime power.
