Question

How do you write 67500 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`6.75xx 10^4`

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very big or very numbers as a power of `10`.

It is written in the form `a xx 10^n` where `a` is a number between `1 and 10` and `n` is an integer.
There must be only one digit before the decimal point.

`10,000 = 10^4`

`67,500 = 6.75 xx 10,000`

`67,500 =6.75 xx 10^4`

Move the decimal point until there is one digit to the left .
Count how many place holders you moved.

`6color(blue)(7,500) = 6color(blue)(.7500) xx 10^4`
