Question

What is 247,000,000 in scientific notation

Answer 1

`2.47 * 10^8`

Explanation:

When you convert a number to scientific notation, it is always important to remember that the whole number can never be greater than 10.

2.47000000

Then count the number of values after the decimal point.

2. 4 7 0 0 0 0 0 0

There are 8 values after the decimal point.

Meaning that 10 has to be to a power of 8 to get back to the original number.
