Question

Convert 65,000,000 to scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 x 10^7. PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST IF THIS HELPS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, its kind of hard to explain but i'll do my best.

65,000,000 has six zeros, and in order to get the answer, you have to put the answer into a decimal. So all you have to do is put the decimal right here. 65000000.< Hope that makes sense. Then all you have to do is move that decimal to the left however many times is needed to make the answer a decimal (in this case it is 7 times). Which makes the answer 6.5 but your not done yet, then, since you had to move to the left seven times in order to get your decimal, that means the second part of your answer is 10^7, (10 to the seventh power) since you moved seven times. Example: if you had had to move to the left 9 times to get your decimal, then it would have been 10^9, if that makes any sense. So that means your final product would be 6.5 x 10^7

Answer 2

Answer: 6.5 x $10^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation: To write a number in scientific notation, first write a decimal point in the number so that there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point.

In this case, we can write 65,000,000 as 6.5000000 and notice that there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point.

Next, we count the number the number of places the decimal point would need to move in order to get back to our original number which is 65,000,000. In this case, we would need to move the decimal point 7 places to the right in order to get back to our original number. Since we would need to move the decimal point 7 places to the right to get back to our original number, this would mean that we have an exponent of 7.

Therefore, 65,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 x $10^{7}$
