Answer:

6.5875 × 10^2

Explanation:

Standard form format is: a×10^b

A number is written in standard form when it is represented as a decimal number times a power of 10.

As an example, consider the speed of light which travels at about 671,000,000 miles per hour. Written in standard form this number is equivalent to 6.71 x 10^8.

Example: Convert 459,608 to Standard Form

Move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 4.59608

a = 4.59608

We moved the decimal to the left so b is positive

b = 5

The number 459,608 converted to standard form is 4.59608 x 10^5

hope this helps <3
