The best way is try to write the (a) kg (b) dg
numbers in shorthand form.
The shorthand form of writing Solution
numbers is called standard form.
In general, the standard form number
is
a x 10n Example 4
where 1 ≤ a<10
and n are positive Ekspress
integers or (a) 73 kg in terms of mg
negative integers. (b) 0.0045 ms in terms of Ms
Example 1
Solution
Write the following numbers in
standard form.
A 15.2 x 10 2 B 1.52 x 10 3
C 1.52 x 10 4 D 0.152 x 10 -4
Solution E 1.52 x 10-5

C 1.2 x 10- 5 D 1.2 x 10 - 7 9 Which one of the following
E 1.2 x 10 -8 measurements is different?

and B = 3 x 10 A 2.3 x 10 2 m
B 2.3 x 10 4 cm
- 5
C 2.3 x 10 6 mm
then the value of A + 5B is
10 Which one of the following
A 1.7 x 10 - 5 B 3.5 x 10 - 5 measurements is smallest ?
C 1.7 x 10 - 4 D 3.5 x 10 - 4
E 1.7 x 10 –3 A 1.5 x 10 2 kg
B 1.5 x 10 7 g
