The temperature of the sun at its center is about 2.7x10^7 degrees Fahrenheit. What is this temperature written in decimal notation?

1 answer

To convert the given temperature from scientific notation (2.7x10^7) to decimal notation:

2.7 is the coefficient, and 10^7 represents multiplying the coefficient by 10 raised to the power of 7.

To get the decimal notation, move the decimal point 7 places to the right, since 10^7 means multiplying the coefficient by 10 seven times.

The decimal notation is obtained as follows: 2.7 × 10^7 = 27,000,000.

So, the temperature of the sun at its center is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit in decimal notation.
