In January sales were 2.08 million. Write the sales for January in standard notation and scientific notation. please help

2,080,000

2.08 * 10^6

Thanks PsyDag! for scientific notation would it be 2.08 x 10^6 ??

To write the sales for January in standard and scientific notation, we'll use the given value of 2.08 million.

Standard Notation:
The standard notation of 2.08 million is simply the number itself without using any powers of 10.
So, in standard notation, the sales for January would be written as 2,080,000.

Scientific Notation:
Scientific notation represents a number as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 (known as the coefficient), and a power of 10. The coefficient must have only one digit before the decimal point, so we can write 2.08 as 2.08 × 10^1, since we move the decimal point one place to the right. Now, we have to adjust the power of 10 according to the number of decimal places we moved the decimal point. In this case, since we moved one place to the right, the power of 10 becomes 10^6 (million is equal to 10^6).
So, in scientific notation, the sales for January would be written as 2.08 × 10^6.

Hope this helps!
