Determine if each of the following numbers is written in scientific notation. Drag each number into the appropriate box.
Scientific Notation NOT Scientific Notation

Answer 1

I don’t see the list of numbers to sort. Paste the numbers and I’ll sort them for you.

Meanwhile, here’s the rule so you can check them yourself:

- Scientific notation has the form a × 10^n where:
- a is a single number with absolute value at least 1 and less than 10 (1 ≤ |a| < 10)
- n is an integer (can be positive, negative, or zero)
- Examples that ARE scientific notation:
- 3.2 × 10^4
- −5.1 × 10^−3
- 1.0 × 10^2
- Examples that are NOT scientific notation:
- 32 × 10^3 (coefficient 32 ≥ 10) — convert to 3.2 × 10^4
- 0.32 × 10^5 (coefficient 0.32 < 1) — convert to 3.2 × 10^4
- 3.2 × 4 (not a power of 10)
- 3200 (no ×10^n form shown)

If you paste the specific numbers from your problem I’ll mark each as "Scientific Notation" or "NOT Scientific Notation" and, for any incorrect ones, give the corrected scientific notation.
