Question

1. Write the following value in scientific notation: 23,000,000

Answer 1

2.3 by 10^7

Explanation:

We want this rewritten in the form 2.3*10^n.

To get the decimal point in 23,000,000 between the 2 and 3, we must move it 7 places to the left, and then compensate for this by multiplying 2.3 by 10^7.
