What is 3,760 in standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

written form? what do you mean standard form?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

What is standard form? Don't you move the decimal point to the left and then multiply it by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places you move it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

three thousand seven hundred sixty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

OpenStudy (plainntall):

For instance 4000 is 4.000 x 10^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeap :3 so it would be 3.76 x 10^3

OpenStudy (plainntall):

We should let Hillory do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahahas LOL yeah... because 3.76 x 10^3 is 3.76 x 10 x 10 x10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoops sorry >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay... thank you. So, what would be 3,076 in standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayies so an easy way to do would be counting decimal places. Since you want 3 to stand by itself, you can count how many times the decimal point has to move so that 3 is by itself: 3076= 3076.0 when you move one decimal place towards 3: 307.6 move a 2nd time: 30.76 then a 3rd time: 3.076 and now the 3 is by itself right? So for standard form, it will always be the number times 10 to the power of the number of moves the decimal made. This time it moved 3 time right? So it's: 3.076 x 10^3 Do you understand? :3 if you don't please say :3 this is my first time trying to explain standard form :3

Thank you very much. I was right with my answer.
