Grade: 6-b Lesson: S2-L8 |
Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding. |
Examples:
Convert 0.00000067 into scientific notation.
Step 1a
|
|
Given number is 0.00000067. Move the decimal point to the right of 0.00000067 up to 7 places. The decimal point was moved 7 places to the right to form the number is 6.7. The decimal is moved to the right since the numbers are less than 10. Hence, we use a negative exponent here 0.00000067 ⇒ \$6.7 × 10^-7\$. |
|
Explanation: So, 0.00000067 in scientific notation is \$6.7×10−7\$. |
Convert 937000000 into scientific notation.
Step 2a
|
|
Given number is 937000000. Move to the decimal to the left in 8 places. So it is positioned to the right of the leftmost non-zero digits 9.37000000. Remove all the zeroes and multiply the number by 10. Now the number has become = 9.37. Since the number is greater than 10 and the decimal is moved to the left, we use a positive exponent here. The scientific notation is \$9.37×10^9\$. |
|
Explanation: So, in scientific notation, 937000000 is written as \$9.37×10^9\$. |
