Carry the decimal until its 5.67, how many spaces did you move?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I fou move it to the right it's negative if it's to the left it's positive. Which direction are you moving the decimal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well he sayed to the right

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

When you're're moving to the right its positive, when your moving to the left is negative. 5.67 x 10^?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's the other way around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I still don't get it how do I solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You move the decimel to the right until the number is between 1 and 10, but not to, then the number of time you moved the decimel is what your power is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but not 10 sorry:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks so it is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I your moving the decimel to the left it's positive. Since your moving it tho the right it's negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it B then

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yeah, its the other way around I got confused. You're moving the decimal to the right, therefore negative. When you move 0.000567 4 places to the right you have 5.67 x 10^-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's d unless the 13 outside of it has something to do with the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):
