You are correct. By our basic definition,
b − n = ( 1 )/( b n )
and therefore
10 − 1 = ( 1 )/( 101 ) ( 1 )/( 10 )
Very well, the original question was: In the decimal number 142.67, what is the coefficient of 10 − 1 ? The coefficient of 10 − 1 is the number that tells us how many .1’s are used in the number 142.67.
Now return to page 169 and choose the right answer to that question.
