i'm a poet... i don't know math!!!
Write 3 X 10^7 km^3 , the total volume of the continental Antarctica ice sheet, in standard form.
would it be 30000000000 ?
I think it would be 30000000km^3
yes, that is correct. A easy way to count these and check them is put either spaces between the zeros, or commas.
30,000,000km^3 or 30 000 000 km^3
To convert a number written in scientific notation to standard form, you need to move the decimal point to the right or left to align it with the corresponding power of 10. In the given expression, 3 x 10^7 km^3, the exponent 7 represents the number of places the decimal point needs to be moved to the right.
So, starting with 3, you move the decimal point seven places to the right, resulting in:
3,000,000
However, we need to consider the unit, which is km^3. So, the final answer in standard form would be:
3,000,000 km^3
