Question

B) Write 1.74 x 10^4 as an ordinary number.

Answer 1

To express 1.74 x 10^4 as an ordinary number, you move the decimal point in 1.74 four places to the right, which results in 17,400.

To write 1.74 x 10^4 as an ordinary number, you multiply 1.74 by 10,000 (since 10^4 means ten to the fourth power, which is 10,000). This will shift the decimal point four places to the right.

Step-by-step:

1. Start with 1.74.
2. Move the decimal point four places to the right: 17,400.
3. The result is 17,400, which is 1.74 x 10^4 as an ordinary number.
