how do I convert to scientific notation. for example 2500 8000 is 20 000 000. I want 2.0 x 107
Since 2,500 * 8,000 is 20,000,000, you would move your decimal to the left and count the spaces to find the exponent.
In order to convert it to scientific notation, you would move your understood decimal from the
20,000,000(.) < understood decimal to the left until you get 2.0.
Then you would count the decimal spaces (7) and that becomes apart of your answer,
which is 2.0 x 10 ^ 7
