Answer 1

`4.5230 xx 10^4`

Explanation:

`color(blue)(45230xx1) = 45230`

`color(blue)(45230xx10^4/10^4)" " = " "45230 xx1" " =" " 45230`

`color(blue)((45230)/10^4 xx10^4) " " = " "45230 xx1" " =" " 45230`

`color(brown)("Divide the "10^4" into 45230")`

`color(blue)(4.5230 xx10^4) " " = " "45230 xx1" " =" " 45230`
