Question

Write 7,250,000,000 in scientific notation.

Answer 1

`7.25*10^(9)`

Explanation:

To write a number in scientific notation, you need to reduce the number to one which is between 0 and 10.

In this case, 725 and 72.5 aren't possible as they are more than 10.

7.25 is the number we want. So simply count the number of decimal places you need to move in order to turn 7,250,000,000 into 7.25.

7,250,000,000.0

725000000.00

7250000.000

725000.0000

72500.00000

7250.000000

725.0000000

72.50000000

7.250000000

In this case, it is 9.
