Why do scientists use scientific notation science

Mathematics

Because it makes quantities with a lot of digits small enough that you can do math with them.

example:
say you measure a wavelength in nanometers which is common for wavelengths but then have to use this quantity in an equation with the speed of light; 300,000,000 m/s ..
You then must convert one of these quantities to get both in the same units of measure. Usually you would write 600 nm as 6x10^11 m instead of a 12 digit decimal and speed of light as 3x10^8 m/s

Two more than the quotient of a number and 6<br> is equal to 8
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

"Two more" = + 2

"quotient of a number and 6" = n/6

"equal to 8" = = 8

Set the equation:

n/6 + 2 = 8

Isolate the variable n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 2 from both sides.

n/6 + 2 (-2) = 8 (-2)

n/6 = 8 - 2

n/6 = 6

Isolate the variable n. Multiply 6 to both sides.

(n/6)(6) = (6)(6)

n = 6 * 6

n = 36

36 is your answer.
