Question

Scientists found that the body of a male consists of 3.58×10^-4 lbs of zinc. What is the number written in standard notation?

Answer 1

The number is 0.000358 lbs.

Explanation:

Scientists found that the body of a male consists of
`3.58 * 10^(-4)` lbs of zinc.

This is a scientific way of writing a number.

For, example 0.0023, a number in normal or standard notation can be scientifically written as
`2.3 *  10^(- 3)`.

So, in our case, the number is
`3.58 * 10^(-4)` lbs and we have to write this number in standard notation.

Then the number is 0.000358 lbs. (Answer)
