Scientific Notation

A. Write the following numbers in scientific notation.

Remember:
- If you are making the larger number smaller (ie. 100 1), the exponent
must be positive (1x102)) If you are making the smaller number larger (ie.
0.005 5), the exponent must be negative (5x10-3).
- Dont forget to count decimal places!
