Question

A thunderstorm cloud holds about 6,200,000,000 raindrops .which of the following shows this number in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Answer:
`6.2 *10^9`

Explanation:

Scientific notation is large numbers expressed as products consisting of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by an appropriate power of 10

So the first number cannot be 6200 or 62 or 0.6, it has to be 6.2 because 6.2 > 1 and 6.2 < 10

count your numbers right of the decimal and you should get:

`6.2 *10^9`
