Question

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 300,000,000 cubic miles of water on the planet. How this number represented in scientific notation

Answer 1

3.00x10^8

Explanation:

So you want to make sure the number before the x10^ is beween 10 and 0 not including 10 and 0. So 1.00-9.99.

Move the demcil place up in 300,000,000 till your first number is between 1 and 9.99.

Then count how many places you moved it up, in this case 8

Add the amount of times you moved up to the x10^(in this space).

you answer is now 3.00 plus the x10^8

3.00x10^8
