Jordan was asked to convert 345,000,000 to scientific notation. His response was 34.5*10^7. His teacher told him he was incorrect. Explain Jordan's
mistake and determine the correct answer.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific notation of any number is given by :

[tex]N=a\times 10^b[/tex]

a is any real no and b is any integer

The scientific notation of 345,000,000 should be [tex]3.45\times 10^8[/tex] but Jorden wrote 34.5×10⁷. He is incorrect. He should have shifted decimal before 4 such that power of 10 becomes 8.
