100
Is the number in scientific notation? 0.9 * 10^4
No. 0.9 is less than 1 and for a number to be in scientific notation it has to be between 1 and less than 10.

What is 37,500 in scientific notation?
3.75 * 10^4
100
Which number is larger: 4.5 * 10^3 5.4 * 10^3
5.4 * 10^3 is larger than 4.5 * 10^3. You can find this out by putting the numbers back into standard form. In standard form 5.4 * 10^3 is 5,400 while 4.5 *10^3 is 4,500 which is less than 5,400

If Jimmy bought a sweater for $15 and Carl bought the same sweater for 2.7 * 10^1, then who got the better deal and for how much less money did he get the sweater for?

Yes. 10 - 7.6 is equal to 2.4 which is between 1 and less than 10.
300
How do you put a number less than one and greater than zero into scientific notation?
You have to take the decimal point and move it over as many places as you can until the number is between 1 and less than ten. You then take that new number and multiply that by ten times negative however many times you moved it over to the right.
300
Which number is larger 1,000.5 or 1 * 10^3
1,000.5 is larger than 1 * 10^3 because 1 * 10^3 is equal to 1,000. So 1,000.5 is greater than 1,000
300
What is 2.3 * 10^7 in standard form?
23,000,000
300
Which number is larger? 1.2 or 1.35 * 10^-1
1.2 is greater than 1.35 * 10^-1. 1.35 * 10^-1 is equal to 0.135 which is clearly less than 1.2
400
What is standard form?
It is the place value of a number using decimals
400
How do you put a number that is greater than 1 into scientific notation?
You have to move the decimal to the left until the number is between 1 and less than 10. Than you use the new number and multiply it by ten to the however many times you moved it over to the left.
400
Which number is larger? 1.3 * 10^8 or 9.76 * 10^7
1.3 * 10^8 is actually larger than 9.76 * 10^7. In standard form these number are actually: 130,000,000 97,600,000
400
What is 3.1*10^4?
31,000
400
Which number is larger 2.7 * 10^5 or 3.7 * 10^4?
Even though 3.7 * 10^4 may look larger it is only equal to 37,000 while 2.7 * 10^5 is equal to 270,000 which is larger than 37,000.
500
What is scientific notation?
It is a short cut for writing very large or small numbers.
500
What is .09687 in scientific notation?
9.687 * 10^-2
500
Which number is larger 0.4674 or 4.674 * 10^-1?
Actually both of the numbers are exactly the same except that one number is in scientific notation.
500
What is 9.8765 * 10^1 in standard form?
98.765
500
Is the number in scientific notation: 10 * 10^4?
Actually the number is not in scientific notation. This is because you move the decimal over until the number is between 1 and less than 10 and 10 is equal to ten not less than it so it is not in scientific notation.
