Question

2.7 times 10 to the -4 power in standard form

Answer 1

The standard form is 0.00027

Solution:

Given is:

`2.7 * 10^(-4)`

We have to write in standard form

Standard form means writing the very large or very small numbers easily

From given,

`2.7 * 10^(-4)`

The exponent of 10 is -4

Exponent is negative

Which means, the decimal point is to be moved to left when converting the number to standard form

Therefore, move the decimal point towards left 4 places

`2.7 * 10^(-4) = 0.00027`

Thus the number is written in standard form
