Question

3.25x10^-6 written in decimal notation

Answer 1

3.25 x 10^-6 written in decimal notation is 0.00000325

Solution:

Decimal notation is simply a form of a number using a decimal point

Given number :
`3.25 * 10^(-6)`

Steps to follow:

In order to convert a number written in scientific notation to one written in standard or decinal notation, follow these steps:

• Write the given scientific notation number
• Use the sign and numerical value of the exponent (power) to determine the direction and number of places to move the decimal place.
• Move the decimal point to the right if the exponent is positive.
• Move the decimal point to the left if the exponent is negative.

To convert to decimal notation:

Multiply the decimal number by 10 raised to the power indicated.

`\rightarrow 3.25 * 10^(-6)`

Here the exponent of 10 is -6

So the decimal point is moved 6 places to right

`\rightarrow 3.25 * 10^(-6) = 0.00000325`
