Quandaries and Queries
 

 

Hi

My nane is Floren and I am a secondary student. Could you help me to solve this exercise?: The numbers 21989 and 51989 are written one after another. How many digits in all are there?

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

 

Floren,

Ask yourself how you can estimate the number of digits of a number by taking its logarithm in base 10.
