The scientific notation is a method that scientists use
to easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. As an example,
instead of writing down the value 0.0000000065, we write the value 6.5 x 10-9
in scientific notation. The number of places the decimal point got moved
becomes the exponent of the number 10. When the movement is from left to right,
the exponent is negative (for very small numbers). When it is right to left,
the exponent is positive (for very large numbers).
Therefore writing estimated measurements in scientific
notation:
length of a grain of salt : 0.0002 centimeters = 2 x 10-4
centimeters
width of a key ring : 0.02 centimeters = 2 x 10-2
centimeters
Question one is 3 Question two is 2 Question three is -4 Question four is -5/6 Question five is -2 Question six is 26 Question seven is 10 inches (you cube root 1000) Hope this helps
