Question

Convert 1.5 × 108 from scientific notation to standard form. 15,000,000 150,000,000 1,500,000,000 15,000,000,000

Answer 1

Explanation:

We need to convert 1.5 × 10⁸ from scientific notation to standard form.

The scientific notation is 1.5 × 10⁸

Out of the given options, we need to choose the correct one.

10⁸ means 100000000

⇒
`1.5* 10^8=1.5* 100000000`

or

`1.5* 100000000=(15)/(10)* 100000000`

One of the zero from denominator and numerator will cancel down.

`(15)/(10)* 100000000=15* 10000000\\\\=150000000`

So, the correct option is b.
