Answer 2

Remark

Begin by counting the number of places you need to go to get a number that is 1 or greater and less than 10. If you can use ≤ and < you need to write this as

1 ≤ x < 10

Solution

For 1 0 0 0 0 0 put a decimal at the end.

1 0 0 0 0 0. and count the number of places you gave to go to get a number between 1 and 10 including 1 and excluding 10

You have to move back 5 places. So the answer is B <<<< answer

Note

You would get the same number if you moved the decimal back 5 places for the number below.

1 2 3 4 5 6. 233 You would move the decimal back 5 places to get a number between 1 and 10.

1.23456233 * 10^5 The answer would still be B.
