Question

How do you write `6.92*10^-8` in standard notation?

Answer 1

`6.92 cdot 10^{- 8} = 0.0000000692`

Explanation:

The power of ten indicates the position of the decimal point. If we are saying that a number in scientific notation is `6.92 cdot 10^{- 8}` that means that the decimal point must be placed `8` positions below the initial position, which is always the one corresponding to the number of units.
