0.00000333

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

what x 10^-9 = 0.00000333 ?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

3330? no idk

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

I'm confused...

Mehek (mehek14):

yea it's 3,330

Mehek (mehek14):

\(3330.0*10^{-9}=3.33*10^{-6}\)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

So the zero disappears?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oH i SEE

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

because when you're moving the decimal point to the left the zero disappears, sort of?

Mehek (mehek14):

the zero after the decimal doesn't matter

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

no the one after the last 3

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

I think I get it now.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Thanks! <3

Mehek (mehek14):

it stays if it's before the decimal

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yeah because it moves after the period so like you said it doesn't matter :)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

dot

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):
