Question

Write 246,000 in scientific notation. x 10

Answer 1

The answer is 246x10³

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

So replacing the number of zeros by power of 10 we can write the above exression as 246x10³

Answer 2

Answer:
`2.46*10^5`

Explanation:

By definition scientific notation has the following form:

`a10^b`

Where a is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and the exponent b is an integer.

The decimal point must be after the first digit.

Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, you can write the number as following:

`246,000=2.46*10^5`
