Question

6.492 x 10^2
simplify.

Answer 1

649.2

Answer 2

one way to remember how to do this
10^2 means 100 (1 with 2 zeros)
if the problem where 6 instead of 6.492, you know 6 x 100= 600, right?
you move the decimal point 2 digits to the right.
that means
6.492 x 100= 649.2 (move the . to the right)
