Question

. What is the standard notation equivalent of 6.2391 x 10-3?

Answer 1

The standard notation is;

`\text{ 0.0062391}`

Here, we want to write the number that has the given standard form

What we have to do here is to shift the decimal point

Since the power of 10 is negative, it means we have to shift the decimal point to the keft

The power of 10 is -3 and that means we have to shift the decimal point three times to the left

The spaces created by the shifying will be covered by zero

Thus, we have it that;

`6.2391\text{ }*10^(-3)\text{ = 0.0062391}`
