Question

427 thousand scientific notation

Answer 1

4.27 x 10^5 the number has to be between 0 and 10 so you move the decimal over two places and add that to the three zeros that make it 427,000 and you have 5 zeros you need to put after the 10

Answer 2

scientific notation is the standard form of writing numbers in a particular format

scientific notation is writing a number between 0 and 10 times a power of 10

the number to be written is 427 000

so we need to get the decimal point after the first digit from the right

decimal point should come to the right of digit 4

for the decimal to come next to 4 it has to move 5 places to the left. Then its 4.27 multiplied by 10⁵

scientific notation is - 4.27 x 10⁵
