Question

Write this number in standard form.3 thousand, 16 tens, 7 ones

Answer 1

`3.167\cdot10^3`

Step-by-step explanation

The given number is 3 thousand, 16 tens, 7 ones.

First, let us write this in ordinary form:

`\begin{gathered} 3000+16(10)+7 \\ 3000+160+7 \\ \Rightarrow3167 \end{gathered}`

To write this in standard form, we have to express it as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.

That is:

`3167\to3.167\cdot10^3`

That is the number in standard form.
