Try a question
From “Standard form”.
Questions are in English, like the exam. Every answer comes with an explanation.
Which of these is 0.000 307 written in standard form?
Show the answer
A. 3.07 × 10⁻⁴
The point moves 4 places to the right to give 3.07, so k = −4. 30.7 × 10⁻⁵ has the right value but is not standard form, because 30.7 ≥ 10.
