Answer:

The answer would be 8.3*10^7.

Explanation:

This is because the beginning factor in scientific notation (in this case it is 8.3) must be no less than one, and no more than ten. Once we figured that out, we simply count the number of decimal points from 3 to the final 0. Try it yourself. You will discover that the resulting answer is 7 decimal movements. Now, since we are using scientific notation, we will want to multiply by ten to the power of the number of decimal movements (in this case it is 7.) And that's all! The answer is 8.3*10^7. I hope this helped (:
