Question

Turn 195,000,000,000,000,000 into scientific notation.

Answer 1

Think of it like this, a number times 10 to a power

(E.g \(35 \times 10^5\)) would make it 3,500,000.

So what would \(195000000000000000\) be Vice verse to the above example?

Answer 2

how do you get the 5 beside the 10?

Answer 3

The 5 counts how many points right you have to move of the decimal point.

Answer 4

So, 1.95 x 10 \(^1\)\(^5\)

Answer 5

The decimal point is at the very end, so it would just be 195, not 1.95.

Answer 6

Okay, thank you for helping me understand!

Answer 7

No problem!
