Question

Convert 2.8 x 10³ to standard notation.

Answer 1

Answer: 2800

Reason:

The exponent is 3, which means we move the decimal point 3 spaces to the right to go from 2.8 to 2800.0 or simply 2800

If the exponent was negative, then you move that many spaces to the left.

Answer 2

0.0028

Explanation:

move the decimal point to the left (if the exponent of ten is a negative number), or to the right (if the exponent is positive)
