To convert the temperature of the sun at its center from scientific notation to decimal notation, you can follow these steps:
The temperature is given as \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit.
-
\( 10^7 \) means that you move the decimal point 7 places to the right.
-
Starting with \( 2.7 \), moving the decimal point 7 places to the right gives:
- Start: 2.7
- Move 1: 27. (1 place)
- Move 2: 270. (2 places)
- Move 3: 2700. (3 places)
- Move 4: 27000. (4 places)
- Move 5: 270000. (5 places)
- Move 6: 2700000. (6 places)
- Move 7: 27000000. (7 places)
So, \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) in decimal notation is \( 27,000,000 \) degrees Fahrenheit.
