What is the following number in decimal form? 1.68 x 10 -8 a. 0.00000000168 b. 0.0000000168 c. 168,000,000 d. 16,800,000,000

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

I assume the -8 is an exponent so. Find 10^-8 (with a calculator if you want) and then multiply that by 1.68.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

And knowing that the exponent is negative, it's going to be a decimal.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Ok, first put into your calculator 10 to the -8th power.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):
