OpenStudy (anonymous):

what number tells you how many places to move the decimal over?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...the five right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the five

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since 10^5 is a big number, we want 9.79 to be big also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means we would move the decimal to the right 5 places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would make?

979,000 or 97,900

OpenStudy (anonymous):

979,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was that helpful?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

979,000 is right
