Answer:

The answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.- Change 9.0 x 10^7 from scientific to standard notation

Just move the decimal point 7 places to the right

90000000

2 Change 3.2 x 10^-5 from scientific to standard notation

Just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

0.000032

3 Which types of measurements are appropriate for scientific notation? *

The speed of light is appropriate

The speed of a snail isn't appropriate

The speed of your car isn't appropriate

4 Write 0.0000000000372 grams in scientific notation. Then convert to SI base units.

Just move the decimal point 11 places to the right

3.72 x 10 ⁻¹¹ grams = 3.72 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg

5 Write 45,000,000,000 kilometers in scientific notation. Then convert your answer to SI base units

Just move the decimal point 10 places to the left

4.5 x 10 ¹⁰ km = 4.5 x 10¹³ m

6 A bulb thermometer gives an indoor temperature reading of 21 degrees Celsius. A digital thermometer in the same room gives a reading of 20.7 degrees Celsius. Which devise is more precise? Explain.

I think the digital thermometer is more precise because it can measure decimals, then the reading is closer to the right temperature. The other thermometer can't read decimals.
