0.125 but 0.13 if it asks you to round
train tickets costs: $130 (t)
Bus ticket cost: ? (b)
the bus ticket cost $26
This seems like a concept you’re going to learn and use so I’ll do a problem per section and explain.
Well basically this is a concept: if it’s a negative exponent it’s just 1/number^exponent.
So for example:
#1. 1/(10)^2 = 10^-2
The standard notation:
#9: You know that 1/(10)^3 you could either put it in a calculator or realize that you take the number 1, and move the decimal to the left three times. 0.001 would be the answer.
Scientific notation:
combines these topics. Let’s take #17. 0.025. Scientific notation means you write it as a number multiplied by 10^? So let’s see how many places you can move the decimal to get a number without the zeros.
0.025 => move it two places to the right. So that’s 2.5. Now 2.5 multiplied by what 10^? Would give you 0.025? It would be 10^-2. So your answer would be 2.5 x 10^-2.
For all of these, use your knowledge of the power of tens and dividing by tens! ^^ you got this. Let me know if you need help after this explanation.
