Question

The contents of a cell in a spreadsheet are shown below.

5.9799EE7

What number does the contents of the cell represent?

A) 597,990,000,000

B) 59,799,000

C) 0.000000059799

D) 0.00000059799

Answer 1

Option B

59,799,000

Explanation:

When excel spreadsheet puts a number XXXXE7 it implies it's raised to
`10^(7)`. Similarly, when we have a number xE2 is
`10^(2)`

The digits after E always mean raised to those digits. So when we have

`5.9799E7=5.9799* 10^(7)=59,799,000`

Therefore, option B is correct
