two billion,six hundred million in expanded notation using powers of 10
(2x 10^11) + (6x10^8)
would that be correct??
No, it would be (2 x 10^9) + (6 x 10^8)
Online "*" is used to indicate multiplication, because "x" is also used to indicate an unknown.
2,600,000,000 = 2.6 * 10^9
Well, close but no cigar! Let's break it down using the powers of 10.
Two billion is 2,000,000,000, which can be expressed as 2 x 10^9.
Six hundred million is 600,000,000, which can be expressed as 6 x 10^8.
So, in expanded notation, it would be written as (2 x 10^9) + (6 x 10^8). Keep up the great work, math whiz!
No, that is not correct. To represent two billion, six hundred million in expanded notation using powers of 10, we need to break down the number into its individual place values.
First, let's break down the number: two billion, six hundred million.
- Two billion is written as 2,000,000,000.
- Six hundred million is written as 600,000,000.
Now, let's express each part using powers of 10.
- Two billion: To express it using powers of 10, we have 2 x 10^9.
- "2" represents the digit in the billions place.
- "10^9" indicates that the digit is multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 9, which corresponds to the number of zeros in a billion (1,000,000,000).
- Six hundred million: We can express it as 6 x 10^8.
- "6" represents the digit in the hundred millions place.
- "10^8" indicates that the digit is multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 8, which corresponds to the number of zeros in a hundred million (100,000,000).
Therefore, the correct expanded notation of two billion, six hundred million using powers of 10 is:
2,000,000,000 = 2 x 10^9
600,000,000 = 6 x 10^8
So the complete representation would be:
(2 x 10^9) + (6 x 10^8)
