Convert to standard notation. 7.53 × 10^3.
Can someone show me the proper way to do this?
7350
standard notation is the answer to the problem
I don't understand
So the ^3 is how many decimal spaces or zeros are at the end of the number?
7.53 x 10^3
=7.53 x 1000
= ?
Perfect, I understand the concept now. Thank you both.
Sure! I can help you understand how to convert a number written in scientific notation to standard notation.
In scientific notation, a number is expressed as the product of a coefficient and a power of 10. The coefficient is a decimal number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10. The power of 10 indicates how many places the decimal point needs to be moved.
To convert 7.53 × 10^3 into standard notation, follow these steps:
1. Start with the coefficient, which is 7.53.
2. Determine the power of 10, which is 3 in this case. This indicates that the decimal point needs to be moved three places to the right.
3. Move the decimal point in the coefficient three places to the right:
- 7.53 becomes 7530.
4. Remove the "× 10^3" part, as it is no longer needed.
So, 7.53 × 10^3 in standard notation is equal to 7530.
