Question

Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. How is 186,000 written in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Answer:1.86*10^5

Explanation:

Scientific notation is simple. First you place a decimal after the first numerical digit. Then for every digit after the decimal you would multiply by 10 to get back to the standard form. Instead of constantly multiplying by 10 you will raise the exponent.
