Question

How do you write `3.24 times 10^3` in standard form?

Answer 1

`3240`

Explanation:

`3.24xx10^3=3.24xx1000`
This means you move the decimal spot 3 digit spaces to the right.

Count 3 spaces: `3\color(gray)(.)2\color(red)(.)4\color(red)(.)0\color(red)(.)\rarr3240.`
So then your number becomes `3240`
