Question

What is the scientific notation of 95?

Please give a simple explanation!


Thanks :)

Answer 1

in reality 95 = 95.0 so if you move the decimal place over 1 to the left you get

9.5 x 10^1
= 9.5 x (10)
= 95

if you move it twice to the left you get .95 x 10^2
.95 x 10^2
= .95 x (10 x 10)
= .95 x 100
= 95
So your answer would be .95 x 10^2

so scientific notation would just be exponents on the ten multiplying it by another number.

i.e.

65 = 65.00
= 6.5 x 10^1 ----> 6.5 x (10)
= .65 x 10^2 ----> .65 x (100)
