Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true: $340900000=3.409\times {10}^{----}$.

Answer 1

Compute the power:

The standard form of a number is a way of representing a number in which any number can be expressed in decimals from $1.0$ to $10.0$ and also multiplied with powers of $10$.

By using the definition of standard form we can write,

$\begin{array}{rcl}340900000& =& 3409\times 10000\\ & =& 3.409\times 1000\times 10000\\ & =& 3.409\times 100000000\\ & =& 3.409\times {10}^8\end{array}$

Hence, the required statement is $340900000=3.409\times {10}^8$
