Question

427 thousand in a scientific notation

Answer 1

4.27 x
`10^(5)`

Explanation:

The whole digit cannot go past 10 or be less than 1:

1 - 10 is the numbers of its max.

427,000

We would move the decimal point between 4 and 2 making:

4.2700

(Originally the decimal point moved 5 places because 427,000 is a whole number, which means the decimal point would be considered at the end, as shown below)

427,000.

By moving 5 places to the left this will be part of your: scientific notation as

___ x
`10^(5)`

(Then plug in 4.27 in front of your notation)

4.27 x
`10^(5)`

That is your answer!
