Can you please help me understand this problem.
3.5*10-6 =
5*10-8
Remember that when we have 10 raised to a negative power....we can "throw" that 10 across the fraction bar and make the exponent positve....so...we can write this as
3.5 * 10^8 3.5
_________ = ___ * 10^(8 - 6) = 0.7 * 10^2 = 70
5 * 10^6 5
I just needed it to stay in scientific notation. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. Anyway thank you CPhill.
