9.5 x 10^2
Step 1
Step 1
To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.
Original Number: 950New Number: 9.50Step 2Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.
New Number:9.50Decimal Count:12There are 2 places to the right of the decimal place.
Step 3Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.
Remember, the notation is: a x 10b
a = 9.5 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)
b = 2
Now the whole thing:
9.5 x 102
Step 4Check your work:
102 = 100 x 9.5 = 950
