degrees Fahrenheit

1 answer

The temperature of the Sun at its center, given as \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit, can be converted to decimal notation by moving the decimal point 7 places to the right.

Starting with 2.7:

  1. Move the decimal 7 places to the right:

    • 2.7 (initially)
    • 27 (1 place)
    • 270 (2 places)
    • 2700 (3 places)
    • 27000 (4 places)
    • 270000 (5 places)
    • 2700000 (6 places)
    • 27000000 (7 places)

So, \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit is \( 27,000,000 \) degrees Fahrenheit in decimal notation.

Final Answer: 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
