Question

write 27,110 in scientific notation.

Explanation:

Step1: Move decimal point

Move the decimal point to get a number between 1 and 10. For 27110, we get 2.7110.
$27110 = 2.7110\times10^{n}$

Step2: Determine the exponent

Count the number of places the decimal point was moved. The decimal point was moved 4 places to the left. So $n = 4$.
$2.7110\times10^{4}$

Answer:

$2.711\times 10^{4}$
