(a)

Write out the following numbers with a correct number of zeros:

8.69×104

Answer to Problem 4P

Solution:

86900

Explanation of Solution

Given:

8.69×104 is the number and we must find a number of zeroes.

Solution:

Since the power of 10 is 4 we move the decimal to right up to four places and add trailing zeroes as we move further.

(b)

Write out the following numbers with a correct number of zeros:

9.1 × 103

Answer to Problem 4P

Solution:

9100

Explanation of Solution

Given:

9.1 × 103 is the number and we have to find a number of zeroes.

Solution:

Since the power of 10 is 3 we move the decimal to right up to three places and add trailing zeroes as we move further.

(c)

Write out the following numbers with a correct number of zeros:

8.8 × 10-1

Answer to Problem 4P

Solution:

0.88

Explanation of Solution

Given:

8.8 × 10-1 is the number and we must find a number of zeroes.

Solution:

Since the power of 10 is -1 we move the decimal to left up to one place.

(e)

Write out the following numbers with a correct number of zeros:

3.62 × 10-5

Answer to Problem 4P

Solution:

0.0000362

Explanation of Solution

Given:

3.62 × 10-5 is the number and we must find a number of zeroes.

Solution:

Since the power of 10 is -5 we move the decimal to left up to five places and add trailing zeroes as we move further.
