Question

Write 0.0000474 × 10^11 in standard form.

Answer 1

What would you have to do to go from:
0.0000474
to
4.74
?

Answer 2

How many times would you need to multiply times 10?

Answer 3

Lets say you would need to multiply it n times.
Since the original question said you would be multiplying times 10 eleven times, since by changing it you've already multiplied it n times, then it won't be 11 anymore, it will be 11 minus the n times you've already multiplied it.
Solution:
4.74x10^(11-n)
where n is how many times you had to multiply times 10 to go from
0.0000474 to 4.74
