Write this number in scientific notation 88,000,000
8.8 x 10^7
To write the number 88,000,000 in scientific notation, you need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
Start with the number 88,000,000.
1. Move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
88,000,000 = 8,800,000.0
2. Count the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point. In this case, it was 7 places to the left.
3. Rewrite the number as the product of the non-zero digit and 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point.
8,800,000.0 = 8.8 x 10^7
Therefore, 88,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 8.8 x 10^7.
To write a number in scientific notation, we need to express it as a product of a number between 1 and 10, and a power of 10.
To convert the number 88,000,000 to scientific notation, we first need to identify where the decimal point should be placed. In this case, all the digits are to the right of the decimal point, so we can move the decimal point eight places to the left.
88,000,000 becomes 8.8
Next, we need to determine the power of 10. Since we moved the decimal point eight places to the left, the exponent will be positive, indicating a multiplication by 10.
8.8 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 8 will give us the scientific notation for 88,000,000.
Therefore, 88,000,000 in scientific notation is 8.8 x 10^8.
