It has been estimated that there are 100 trillion cells in the human body. Write this number in scientific notation

OpenStudy (welshfella):

1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 oh thats in the UK It might be different in US

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

A trillion has 12 zeros. So 100 TIMES this means that there will an extra 2 zeros added to 12 zeros. So we 100 trillion has 14 zeros. Then we write it in scientific notation as : 1.0 x 10^14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 million is : 1,000,000 1 billion is : 1,000,000,000 1 trillion is : 1,000,000,000,000 100 trillion is : 100,000,000,000,000 what a long number :C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so 100 trillion = 100,000,000,000,000 - 14 zeros

OpenStudy (welshfella):

scientific notation is 1 * 10^n where n = number of digits after the first digit

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No its 1 * 10^14
