how do you do standard index form?

my maths says: rewrite the folloiwing in standard form.

  1. mercury is 694000000km from the sun
  • how do I change it to standard form?
  1. change this into normal numbers 4.5 x 10 to the power of 9.

Thanks for any help. I . Hate. Maths. :)

Answer #1

yeah zudano’s way of doing it is easier

Answer #2

694 000 000 now count how many time you move the decimal to the left to get 6.94 (It’s 8) so the Standard form of 694,000,000km = 6.94 X 10 to the power of 8.

4.5 x 10 to the power of 9

Just move the decimal place 9 places to the right.

So 4.5 x 10 to the power of 9 = 4,500,000,000

Answer #3
  1. 6.94 X 10 to the power
  2. 4500000000

how you do it:

  1. the power number is how many numbers there are inbetween the end of the number and the decimal. the decimal goes after the 6 because the number has to be between 0 and 9.9 2)its basically the same, but there’s a small difference. Each power numbers represents a 0. so you use one of the power numbers to times 4.5 by 10 to get 45. then you stick 8 more 0’s on because thts the power number you have left. Fun mail me if your still stuck
