Question

A calculator screen shows a number in scientific notation as 4.8E9. Write this number in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.8 x 10^9

Step-by-step explanation:

E9 is 10 raised to the power of 9

Scientific notation requires you to write a number from 1 to 10 then multiply it by 10 raised to a number x.

In this case:

4.8E9 = 4,800,000,000

Number between 1 and 10 = 4.8

Number of zeroes = 8 but because you have to multiply 4.8 times 10 to get 48 the answer is 4.8 x 10^9... so one extra 10... 1+8=9
