How do you write 1.67 × 105 in standard form?

Answer 1

To write \(1.67 \times 10^5\) in standard form, you would move the decimal point in 1.67 five places to the right because the exponent is positive.

Starting with 1.67:

1. Move the decimal point one place to the right: 16.7
2. Move the decimal point another place to the right: 167
3. Move the decimal point a third place to the right: 1670
4. Move the decimal point a fourth place to the right: 16700
5. Move the decimal point a fifth place to the right: 167000

Therefore, \(1.67 \times 10^5\) in standard form is \(167000\).
