Example Question #1 : Use Powers Of 10 To Estimate Quantities: Ccss.Math.Content.8.Ee.A.3

Select the number that is equal to four times ten to the fifth power.

Possible Answers:

$4\textup,000$

$400\textup,000$

400

$40\textup,000$

Correct answer:

$400\textup,000$

Explanation:

Four times ten to the fifth power can be written numerically as the following:

$4\times10^5$

When a number between one and ten is multiplied by a power of ten it is said to be written in scientific notation. This number is currently written in scientific notation.

Even though this appears to be a challenging math problem (i.e. because we have a power of ten), we can simply move our decimal place after the four, or 4.0 , over spaces to the right using zeros as place holders.

$4.0\times 10^5=400000.0$

Add commas and simplify.

$400000.0\rightarrow400\textup,000$

Explanation:

Three times ten to the seventh power can be written numerically as the following:

$3\times10^7$

When a number between one and ten is multiplied by a power of ten it is said to be written in scientific notation. This number is currently written in scientific notation.

Even though this appears to be a challenging math problem (i.e. because we have a power of ten), we can simply move our decimal place after the three, or 3.0 , over spaces to the right using zeros as place holders.

$3.0\times 10^7=30000000.0$

Add commas and simplify.

$2\times10^8$

When a number between one and ten is multiplied by a power of ten it is said to be written in scientific notation. This number is currently written in scientific notation.

Even though this appears to be a challenging math problem (i.e. because we have a power of ten), we can simply move our decimal place after the two, or 2.0 , over spaces to the right using zeros as place holders.

$2.0\times 10^8=200000000.0$
