Problem 65
Question
Write each number in decimal notation without the use of exponents. $$3.8 \times 10^{2}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The decimal notation for the number \(3.8 \times 10^{2}\) is 380.
1Step 1: Identify the exponent
The exponent in this problem is 2, which is positive. This means the decimal point in the given number will move to the right.
2Step 2: Move the Decimal Point
For each unit of the exponent, shift the decimal place one slot to the right. Since the exponent is 2, shift the decimal place two slots to the right from its current position after 8 in 3.8. This results in the decimal number 380.
