Any ideas?

it would be 6.5 x 10^5 = 650,000

Answer 3

please explain what the rules are for writing it @The_rebel_outlaw

Answer 4

because 10^5 is 100000 and you would multiply that by 65 which is 650,000

Answer 5

what made you choose 10^5 and not 10^6 or 10^4?

Answer 6

I had this problem for an exam and it helped with this question

Answer 7

Still, don't you think someone trying to learn this kind of notation deserves some sort of explanation?
