Question

Express 148.502 in standard form
Pls as soon as possible

​

Answer 1

`1.48502 * {10}^(2)`

Explanation:

To convert to standard form, move the decimal point until there is one digit to the left of the decimal point.

Since the decimal point moves to the left, the exponent value goes up. If the decimal point moves to the right, the exponent value gpes down.

In this case, since the decimal point moves to the left twice, then the exponent goes up by 2.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1.48502 × 10²

Explanation:

A number expressed in standard form is

a ×
`10^(n)` ( 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer )

Given

148.502 ← express as a number between 1 and 10

1.48502

To obtain the original number we require to multiply by 100 , that is 10²

Thus

148.502 = 1.48502 × 10²
