WHERE DID I GO WRONG? EXPLAIN AND TELL ME WHY

Answer 1

You did everything right all the way up to one small thing at the end. When you moved the decimal to the left and made 10.35 into 1.035, you would need to make the exponent an 11. Raising the exponent will show that you have moved the decimal more than the original problem started with.

Hope this helps?

Answer 2

In the second to the last step (10.35 x 10¹⁰), you moved the decimal of 10.35 one place to the left but you did not balance it by moving 10¹⁰ one place to the right. FYI: Moving the exponent one place to the right means to add one to the exponent.

The correct answer: 1.035 x 10¹¹
