Question

How do you convert 3478 into scientific form?

Answer 1

`3.478*10^3`

Explanation:

To convert a number to the scientific form, you have to move the decimal point until there is only one number before the decimal point.

`3478` is actually `3478.00` (move the decimal point over until there is only one number in front of the decimal point)

After moving the decimal point, we see that we moved 3 spaces:
`3.478` so we are going to raise 10 to the power of the number of spaces moved.

`3.478*10^3`
