Question

How do I rewrite Thea numbers so they are no longer in scientific notation?

1.) 2.27x10^-3

2.) 3.772x10^5

3.) 9.7x10^1

4.) 1.33586(10^6)

5.) 1.33586(10^-5)

6.) 4.22x10^-1

Answer 1

1. 2.27 x 10^-3...when u have a negative exponent, u move the decimal to the left....and since the exponent is -3, u move the decimal 3 spaces to the left.
answer would be : 0.00227. Or the longer way would be : 2.27 * 1/10^3...because if u have a negative exponent, change it to positive and stick it under 1....so 2.27 * 1/10^3 = 2.27/10^3 = 2.27/1000 = 0.00227.

2. 3.772 x 10^5...if the exponent is positive, u move the decimal to the right...and since the exponent is 5...move the decimal 5 spaces to the right....answer would be : 377200...or u could just do 3.772 * 100,000 = 377,200.

3. 9.7 x 10^1 = move decimal to right 1 space = 97
4. 1.33586 x 10^6 = move decimal to right 6 spaces = 1,335,860
5. 1.33586 x 10^-5 = move decimal to left 5 spaces = 0.0000133586
6. 4.22 x 10^-1 = move decimal to the left 1 space = 0.422
