The temperature of the sun at its center is about 2.7×107

Question

degrees Fahrenheit. What is this temperature written in decimal notation?(1 point)
degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

To convert the scientific notation \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit to decimal notation, you need to multiply 2.7 by \( 10^7 \).

This means moving the decimal point in 2.7 seven places to the right:

1. Start with 2.7.
2. Move the decimal point seven places:
   • 2.7 (move one place: 27)
   • 2.7 (move two places: 270)
   • 2.7 (move three places: 2700)
   • 2.7 (move four places: 27000)
   • 2.7 (move five places: 270000)
   • 2.7 (move six places: 2700000)
   • 2.7 (move seven places: 27000000)

Thus, the temperature of the sun at its center in decimal notation is:

27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
