Question

The distance from the sun to the earth is approximately 9.3 × 10⁷ miles. What is this distance expressed in standard notation?

In order to convert this number to standard notation, multiply 9.3 through the factor of 10⁷. Since 10⁷ is equal to 10,000,000, 9.3 × 10,000,000 is equal to 93,000,000. As an equivalent solution and move the decimal point in 9.3 seven places to the right because the exponent on the 10 is positive 7.
