Question

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

Answer 1

To convert \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit into standard form (decimal notation), you move the decimal point 7 places to the right.

Starting with \( 2.7 \):

1. Move the decimal point 7 places:
   2.7 → 27 → 270 → 2700 → 27000 → 270000 → 2700000 → 27000000

So, \( 2.7 \times 10^7 \) degrees Fahrenheit in standard form is:

27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
