Station 1

Convert each of the following numbers to standard form:

1) 7.1 x 108 3) 1.005 x 10-6

2) 9.035 x 105 4) 3 x 10-2

Convert each of the following numbers to scientiNic notation:

5) 0.00027 7) 5,000

6) 30,400,000 8) 0.00902

9) Jessie and Neha were practicing writing numbers in

scientiNic notation. Jessie said that 14.8 x 10-5 was the
Ninal answer, but Neha argued that the answer needed to
be written as 1.48 x 10-6. Were either of them correct?
Explain the error(s).
