0.5 x 10^5 = 50,000
0.05 x 10^5 = 5,000

5. When you multiply by a power of 10, the decimal point moves (4) places to the (right) for every power of 10. In the expression 8.0 x 10^4, the power of 10 is (4). To multiply 8.0 x 10^4, the decimal point needs to move (4) places to the (right). The product of 8.0 x 10^4 is (80,000). Jayla is incorrect.
