convert to scientific notation: 760, 000
provide your answer below:
□ x 10^□

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coefficient

To convert 760,000 to scientific notation, we first find a number between 1 and 10 (including 1, excluding 10) that when multiplied by a power of 10 gives 760,000. We can write 760,000 as 7.6 × 100,000.

Step2: Determine the exponent

Next, we express 100,000 as a power of 10. Since \(100,000 = 10^5\) (because \(10\times10\times10\times10\times10 = 10^5 = 100,000\)), we have 760,000 = 7.6 × \(10^5\).

Answer:

7.6 × 10^5 (So the first box is 7.6 and the second box is 5)
