Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60800 = 60,800 = 60,800.00 (*Note the decimal point...)

60,800 = 6,080 * 10 = 608 * 10 * 10 = 60.8 * 10 * 10 * 10

=> 6.08 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 (*Note there 10 is multiplied 4 times)

When you only have one number to the LEFT side of the decimal point, you have reached scientific notation.

Also note that this number was a 5 digit number, so there was 1 digit to the leftmost and 4 digits to the right. These "4 digits" indicate a scientific notation exponent of "4".

=> Scientific Notation Form = 6.08 * 10^4

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
