degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature written in decimal notation?

a) 270,000,000°F
b) 27,000,000°F
c) 2,700,000°F
d) 270,000°F

Answer 1

To convert the given temperature at the center of the Sun to decimal notation, we need to write it in standard decimal form. Moving the decimal point 7 places to the right results in a temperature of 27,000,000°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to decimal notation, we need to remove the exponent notation and write the number in standard decimal form. The given temperature at the center of the sun is 2.7x10^7 degrees Fahrenheit.

This can be written in decimal notation by moving the decimal point 7 places to the right, resulting in a temperature of 27,000,000°F.
