Question

The doctor also realized that if he only prescribed the medicine for half the days, an unusual side-effect would happen. Calculate one half of your answer from #5 and write in scientific notation. My answer was 28000

Answer 1

Are you asking how to write in scientific notation?

Answer 2

If so, you always want it to be a single digit number, like if you had 54,722, the answer would be 5.4722 x 10^4 because scientific notation puts numbers into smaller amounts. You'd move the decimal so that it's right behind the first number and count how many spaces you moved it over from the last digit and that's the power the ten has.
