Question

the distance between two planets is over 92 million miles. write this number in scientific notation. the distance between the planets is miles. (use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Write 92 million in standard form

92 million = 92000000

Step2: Convert to scientific notation

Scientific notation is of the form $a\times10^{n}$, where $1\leq a<10$ and $n$ is an integer. For 92000000, $a = 9.2$ and $n = 7$ since we move the decimal point 7 places to the left. So, $92000000=9.2\times 10^{7}$

Answer:

$9.2\times 10^{7}$
