Scientific Notation to Decimal Number

Write each number as a decimal.

A. 9.7 x 10^4


B. 9.88 x 10^(-4)


Question A

Positive exponent 4 tells me to move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

Doing so, I get 97,000.

Note: 97,000 = 97,000.00.

Question B

Negative exponent 4 tells me to move the decimal point 4 places to the left.


Doing so, I get 0.000988.

Do you agree?
