Question
Solve for $x :\log_{10}x = -2.$
✓
Answer
$ \log _{10} x=-2$
$ \Rightarrow 10^{-2}=x $
$ \Rightarrow x=10^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{10^2} $
$ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{100} $
$\Rightarrow x=0.01$
$ \Rightarrow 10^{-2}=x $
$ \Rightarrow x=10^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{10^2} $
$ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{100} $
$\Rightarrow x=0.01$

→A sheet is 11 cm long and 2 cm wide. Circular pieces 0.5 cm in diameter are cut from it to prepare discs. Calculate the number of discs that can be prepared.
[Hint: Each circular dise will be cut from a square sheet of side 0.5 сm.
$\therefore$ Number of circular discs = Number of square sheets each of side 0.5 сm
$\begin{array}{l}=\frac{\text { Area of given sheet }}{\text { Area of each square sheet }} \\ \left.=\frac{(11 \times 2)}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\right)}=(11 \times 8)=88 .\right]\end{array}$
