Answer:

the other guy is wrong the answer is 1.27945 × 10 but then 10 is to the power of 4 but I do not know how to type that.

Explanation:

To convert 12794.5 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

1. Move the decimal 4 times to left in the number so that the resulting number, m = 1.27945, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

2. Since we moved the decimal to the left the exponent n is positive

n = 4

3. Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10 to the power of n

= 1.27945 × 10 to the power of 4

Therefore, the decimal number 12794.5 written in scientific notation is 1.27945 × 10to the power of 4 and it has 6 significant figures.
