9.5 x 10^2   

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 950New Number: 9.50Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:9.50Decimal Count:12

There are 2 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building 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 4

Check your work:

102 = 100 x 9.5 = 950
