Step-by-step explanation:
- In the problem, it is given that in 1942, the U.S. Mint produced 154,500,000 nickels.
- It is required to write 154,500,000 in scientific notation.
- To solve this first, move the decimal point so that the first factor is greater than or equal to 1 also it should be less than 10.
- Count the number of decimal places n, and write the number as a product with a power of 10. Then check the answer.
Step 1 of 2
Obtain the scientific notation.
Here the original number, 154,500,000 is greater than 1 so we will have a positive power of 10 .
Move the decimal point to get 1.545, a number between 1 and 10 . Then we get,
1.54500000
The count of the number of decimal places the point was moved is 8 .
Write as a product with a positive power of 10 .
Step 2 of 2
Check the answer.
