Question

How do you write `8.54 times 10^3` in standard notation?

Answer 1

`8.54 xx 10^3 = 8.54 xx 1000 = 8,540.00`

Explanation:

Because the exponent in this problem is positive we need to move the decimal point 3 spaces to the right to convert from scientific notation to standard notation:

`8.54 xx 10^3 = 8.54 xx 1000 = 8,540.00`
