Question

8.3 x 10 to the 3rd power

Answer 1

If your looking at a number to a power (in this case, 3 [cubed]), you multiply the base by the exponent. I would start with the 10 - 10x10x10 = 1,000

Next, multiply your answer by 8.3. You now have 8,300 :)

Answer 2

You have to move the decimal point 3 places to the right. When you are multiplying by 10, move it to the right. If you are dividing by 10, move it to the left. 8.3 = 8,300 Answer = 8,300
