8.87*10^7

1 answer

If you have a positive exponent, you move to the right that many times. If you have a negative exponent, you move to the left that many times. 8.87 x 10^7 means move 8.87 to the right 7 times. 88,700,000 (To check this imagine the decimal is where it started, at 8.87..then move it over to the right 7 times. Get it?)
