Question

How does 5.24 x 10 to the 3rd power equals 5,240

Answer 1

1. 10 to the 3rd power will look like this: 10 x 10 x 10 (multiplying 10 three times)

10 x 10 x 10 is 1000.

Then you multiply 1000 by 5.24 like a regular problem, which will equal 5,240.

There are 3 zeroes so you shift the decimal 3 times.

2. 10 to the second power is 10 x 10. 10x10 is 100.

524,000 divided by 100 is 5240. It’s similar to LOSING two zeroes because you’re DIVIDING.

Answer 2

Answer:

5.24*10³= 5.24*1000= 5240 as decimal shifts towards right

524000/10²=524000/100=5240
