Ways Exponents are Used in Real Life

This week, we’re learning exponents. We know exponents basically involve multiplying a number by itself several times. But have you wondered how this calculation is useful in real life? For instance, computer file sizes are measured using megabytes, which is equivalents to 10⁶ bytes.

Now, it’s your turn! Can you think of at least two ways exponents are used?
