What is the number 5.1 * 10^7 written in a decimal notation
The number 5.1 * 10^7 can be written in decimal notation as 51,000,000.
To write the number 5.1 * 10^7 in decimal notation, we need to move the decimal point 7 places to the right because the exponent is positive.
Starting with the number 5.1, we move the decimal point seven places to the right to get:
51,000,000
So, 5.1 * 10^7 written in decimal notation is equal to 51,000,000.
To write the number 5.1 * 10^7 in decimal notation, you need to understand scientific notation. In scientific notation, numbers are written in the form of "a * 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (inclusive) and "b" is an exponent that represents how many times you multiply "a" by 10.
In this case, "a" is 5.1, and "b" is 7. To convert it to decimal notation, you need to move the decimal point in "a" to the right by "b" places.
Starting with the number 5.1, you move the decimal point seven places to the right, filling in any empty spots with zeros.
Writing 5.1 * 10^7 in decimal notation, we get 51,000,000.
