Question

How do you write 960,000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`9.6xx10^5`

Explanation:

Take the decimal point and move it from right to left up to get after `6` counting the "jumps" and transforming them into positive (from right to left) powers of `10`...

`96000.0` 1 jump
`9600.00` 2 jumps
...
`9.60000` 5 jumps
So: `9.6xx10^(jumps)=9.6xx10^5`
