Question

8. Ricky says that 0.12 x 108 is in

scientific notation because you are
multiplying it by a power of 10.
Unfortunately he is incorrect. How would
you explain this problem to him? Write the
number in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer: it is not because he needs to move the decimal point so it is a number between 1, and 10.

this means move the point in 0.12 over to make it 1.2 since that is between one and ten :)

I actually just learned this not long ago
