Thanks!!! So use the decimal ???

OpenStudy (jumperman):

Always use a decimal. Unless the number is too small. I think.

OpenStudy (jumperman):

I just keep forgetting the decimal in my answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 3.92*10^10 ??? Or 3.92*10^12

OpenStudy (camzzzie):

the reason its ^ 12 is because thats how many spaces you move the decimal from the begining. at first the decimal is at the last 0 and you are moving it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):
