Complexity=3, Mode=toNormal

Convert from scientific notation into normal notation.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	5.2 × 10¹⁰
Solution Significant value = 5.2 Exponent = 10 Must move the decimal point 10 places to the right You should end up with 52000000000

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	6.94 × 10⁶
Solution Significant value = 6.94 Exponent = 6 Must move the decimal point 6 places to the right You should end up with 6940000

Complexity=4, Mode=toScientific

Convert from normal notation into scientific notation. Use '*' for the multiplication sign and '^' for the power. Sample answer: 4.5*10^6

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	0.000000889
Solution Begin by finding out the significant part of the number. It should always be between 1 and 10. Thus, the significant part is 8.89 Must move the decimal 7 spots to the right to end up with the significant value. Thus, the exponential power should be -7. Scientific Notation = significant value × 10^exponent = 8.89*10^-7

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	2835000
Solution Begin by finding out the significant part of the number. It should always be between 1 and 10. Thus, the significant part is 2.835 Must move the decimal 6 spots to the left to end up with the significant value. Thus, the exponential power should be 6. Scientific Notation = significant value × 10^exponent = 2.835*10^6
