OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers are either 10 to the 6th power or 10 to the 7th power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many zeroes would you have to put behind the number 3.42 to get what those two are equal to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 or 7 zeros but thats not the number given to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's to the 6th power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you move the decimal 6 times

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[3,420,000 = 3.42 *10^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
