Question

How do you write 73,480,000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`7.348*10^7`

Explanation:

to write 73,480,000 in scientific notation begin by moving the decimal until the 7 is in the ones place.
7.348

Since we needed to move the decimal place 7 places this is `10^7`

So the scientific notation looks like `7.348*10^7`

Answer 2

`7.348*10^7`

Explanation:

The key realization is that when we write numbers in scientific notation, we want one digit before the decimal point.

In our case, we must loop it `7` times to the left. The number of times we loop it is our exponent, and looping left makes it positive. Thus, we have

`7.348*10^7`

Hope this helps!
