Question

How does a number in scientific notation change when you multiply it by 100?

Answer 1

100 is equal to
`10^(2)`, So, when you multiply the scientific notation by 100, you should add 2 to the exponent of 10 in that scientific notation:

For example;

`9.12* 10^(8) * 100`

=
`9.12* 10^(8) * 10^(2)`

=
`9.12* 10^(8+2)`

=
`9.12* 10^(10)`
