Answer:

To convert scientific notation to standard form you would need to move the decimal point over the number of the places that the exponent indicates. If the exponent is negative you move the decimal to the left, and if the exponent is positive you move the decimal to the right.

Explanation:

1.456*10^3 would be scientific notation.

The exponent is a positive 3, means that you move the decimal 3 places to the right.

1456 would be the standard form.

1.456*10^-3 would be scientific notation.

The exponent is a negative 3, means that you move the decimal 3 places to the left.

0.001456 would be the standard form.
