Question

How do you write 65900000 m in scientific notation?

Answer 1

The answer is `6.59 * 10^7` m.

You have `65900000` m.

In scientific notation, you'll have something like `6.59 * 10^x` m.

Basically, you have to find by what number (a power of ten) you need to multiply `6.59` to have `65900000`.

`6.59x = 65900000`
`x = 10000000`
`x = 10*10*10*10*10*10*10 = 10^7`

Therefore, `65900000 = 6.59 * 10^7` m.
