OpenStudy (welshfella):

add the 2.9 to the 5.35 and append the x10^10

OpenStudy (welshfella):

scientific notation is of the form N.NN.. * 10^n where N.NN.. is a number between 1 and 10 (not including 10)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

A 82.5*10^10 is NOT scientific notation because of the 82.5

OpenStudy (welshfella):

note that options B and C are the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Opps C Is Actually 8.25x10^20 sorry

OpenStudy (welshfella):
