3.267 x 10-3 is equivalent to: Answer: a. 3267 b. 3.25.7 c. 0.03267 d. 0.003267 e. 0.0003267
Is this 3.267 x 10-3 supposed to be 3.267 x 10^(-3)? @laqwane24
@Directrix must be, given the answer choices...
Yes, @whpalmer4 , but does @laqwane24 see that to be the case?
i dont know thats what its asking me on me pre ged test
Most of the people asking for help aren't thinking about whether there is any ambiguity in how they type what they see on their paper/book/screen.
*my
It looks like this, right? \(3.267 * 10^{-3}\)
no, if it said i would of asked that.
it must written wrong

@laqwane24 Let us assume that the problem is: 3.267 x 10^(-3)
okay
10 ^ (-3) = 1divided by 10 cubed which is 1/1000 which is .001. So, 3.267 x 10^(-3) means to multiply 3.267 by .001. Do that and you get what? Let's see if it is one of the answers.
@laqwane24 You can let Google do the multiplying. Enter 3.267 x 10^(-3) = in the search field. Then, we'll discuss the answer.
d
|dw:1359432921281:dw| @laqwane24 Yes, that is correct. Now, multiplying by 10^(-3) moves the decimal point 3 slots to the left.
