How many decimal points do you move from to get to that number? Using 10.
OpenStudy (timisawesome35444):
5

@Thatonegirl_
OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):
5 if you start with just 1. but what about 10 ?
OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):
.000010

because you're trying to turn it into a power of 10 so you need to make it into a 10 by adding an extra 0 at the end
OpenStudy (timisawesome35444):
what i thought it was places behind
OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):
what do you mean?
OpenStudy (timisawesome35444):

10^-6 is not even a choice
OpenStudy (timisawesome35444):
but 10 ^-6 is not a choice
OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):
Ahh my bad. @AmTran_Bus is correct
OpenStudy (timisawesome35444):
Thank you i will just pick to the -5 and how do i give medals
OpenStudy (amtran_bus):
@Thatonegirl_ moving it 6 to the right is useless because adding an extra 0 at the end of the 1 is not significant figure.
