Question

how do you write 94,000 in scientific notation? $square \times 10^square$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate 1-digit coefficient

To get a coefficient between 1 and 10, divide 94,000 by 10,000:
$\frac{94000}{10000} = 9.4$

Step2: Find power of 10

Count the number of places the decimal moved right from 9.4 to 94,000: 4 places. So the exponent is 4.

Answer:

$9.4 \times 10^4$
