1. Answer :
2.5 x 102
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 2, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by two digits.
In 2.5, there is only one digits to right of the decimal point.
So, we have to add one zero to move the decimal point to the right by two digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 2.5 x 102 is
250
2. Answer :
1.9 x 10-2
Since the exponent of 10 is negative 2, the decimal point has to be shifted to the left by two digits.
In 2.5, there is only one digits to left of the decimal point.
So, we have to add one zero to move the decimal point to the left by two digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 1.9 x 10-2 is
0.019
3. Answer :
5.236 x 105
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 5. the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by five digits
In 5.236, there are only three digits to right of the decimal point.
So, we have to add two zeros to move the decimal point to the right by five digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 5.236 x 105 is
523600
4. Answer :
6.415 x 10-6
Since the exponent of 10 is negative 6. the decimal has to be shifted to the left by six digits.
In 6.415, we have only 1 digit to the left of the decimal point.
So, we have to add five zeros to move the decimal point to the left by six digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 6.415 x 10-6 is
0.000006415
5. Answer :
1.72 x 109
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 9, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by nine digits.
In 1.72, we have only two digits to the right of the decimal point.
So, we have to add seven zeros to move the decimal point to the right by nine digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 1.72 x 109 is
1720000000
6. Answer :
2.3 x 10-7
Since the exponent of 10 is negative 7, the decimal point has to be shifted to the left by seven digits.
In 2.3, we have only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
So, we have to add six zeros to move the decimal point to the left by seven digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 2.3 x 10-7 is
0.00000023
7. Answer :
3.6 x 104
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 4, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by four digits.
In 3.6, we have only one digit to the right of the decimal point.
So, we have to add three zeros to move the decimal point to the right by four digits.
Therefore the standard form of 3.6 x 104 is
36000
8. Answer :
2.05852 x 105
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 5, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by five digits.
In 2.05852, we have five digits to the right of the decimal point.
So, we don't have to add zeros and we can move the decimal point to the right by five digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 2.05852 x 105 is
205852
9. Answer :
3.44909896 x 106
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 6, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by six digits.
In 3.44909896, we have eight digits to the right of the decimal point.
So, we don't have to add zeros and we can move the decimal point to the right by six digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 3.44909896 x 106 is
3449098.96
10. Answer :
8.035 x 10-5
Since the exponent of 10 is negative 5, the decimal point has to be shifted to the left by five digits.
In 8.035, we have only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
So, we have to add four zeros to move the decimal point to the left by five digits.
Therefore, the standard form of 8.035 x 10-5 is
0.00008035
11. Answer :
Number of units work completed in 1 minute :
= 2.563
Total number of units of the same work completed in 103 minutes.
= 2.563 x 103
Since the exponent of 10 is positive 3, the decimal point has to be shifted to the right by three digits.
In 2.563, we have three digits to the right of the decimal point.
So, we don't have to add zeros and we can move the decimal point to the right by three digits.
= 2563 units
12. Answer :
Formula for speed :
speed = distance ÷ time
Substitute distance = 7.5 and time = 102.
= 7.5 ÷ 103
= 7.5 x 10-3
Since the exponent of 10 is negative 3, the decimal point has to be shifted to the left by three digits.
In 7.5, we have only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
So, we have to add two zeros to move the decimal point to the left by three digits.
= 0.0075 miles
