each turkey has 2.3 x10 to the 6th power feathers/ How may feathers is that in standard form?
2.3 x 1000000
(^6 = 6 zeroes)
2,300,000
how should show your work?
To express the number of feathers in standard form, we need to rewrite 2.3 x 10^6 using proper scientific notation. Scientific notation consists of two parts: a number between 1 and 10 (known as the coefficient) and a power of 10 (known as the exponent).
In this case, the given number is already in scientific notation, with the coefficient 2.3 and the exponent 6. To convert it to standard form, we multiply the coefficient by 10 raised to the exponent:
2.3 x 10^6 = 2.3 * (10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10)
Multiplying 2.3 by 10 six times gives us:
2.3 * (10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10) = 2.3 * 1,000,000
Calculating the multiplication:
2.3 * 1,000,000 = 2,300,000
Therefore, in standard form, 2.3 x 10^6 feathers is equal to 2,300,000 feathers.
