Question

What’s 142,000,000 written in scientific notations

Answer 1

1.42 x 108 in scientific notation

Answer 2

Answer:

1.42 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number to be in scientific notation, it has to be between 1 and 10, so for it to meet that criteria, we would have to put the decimal point between the 1 and 4. The exponent is equal to the amount of numbers after the decimal point. We know that we have 2 numbers with the 4 and 2, and if you add all the 0s to that, we get 8. So the exponent will be 8. We add those two elements together, we get our answer, 1.42 x 10^8.

I hope that this helps :)
