O If the power of 10 is positive, move the decimal point to the right.
If the number being converted is greater than 10, move the decimal point to the left.
If the number being converted is greater than 10, move the decimal point to the right.

Answer 1

Answer:B. is the correct answer

Explanation:If the power of 10 is positive, move the decimal point to the right.

Answer 2

Answer: If the power of 10 is positive, move the decimal point to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation allows for the writing of large or small numbers in a simpler manner. For instance, instead of writing 6,500,000,000 one can write 6.5 x 10^9.

When converting to standard form which is the 6,500,000,000, if the power of 10 is positive, the decimal point should move to the right for instance 6.5 x 10^9 will see the decimal move right such that it will go after the 5 and not before.
