Question

Convert 5.4 ⋅ 103 to standard form. 0.0054 0.00054 5,400 54,000

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C. 5,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided number.

$5.4\cdot 10^3$

If the exponent of 10 is a positive number then you need to move the decimal point right as much as the exponent value.

If the exponent of 10 is a negative number then you need to move the decimal point left as much as the exponent value.

Now consider the provided number.

$5.4\cdot 10^3$

Here the power of 10 is positive, so move the decimal point right as shown.

$5400$

Hence, the correct option is C. 5,400

Answer 2

Assuming you meant 5.4 × 10³, then it is 5400. Just move the decimal place 3 times, resulting in 5400. To put it better next time, put it like 5.4×10^3 to avoid confusion.
