Scientific Notation Calculations How Big? How Small? Print this worksheet and complete the scientific notation calculations. Here are examples of how scientific notation can be used in making calculations: Example One: 17,000 x 0.0056 = (1.7 x 104)(5.6 x 10-3) = (1.7 x 5.6)(104 x 10-3) = 9.52 x 101 Example Two: (14,000)(0.0045) ÷ (0.087)(3,000) = (1.4 x 104)(4.5 x 10-3) ÷ (8.7 x 10-2)(3.0 x 103) = (1.4)(4.5)(104 x 10-3) ÷ (8.7)(3.0)(10-2 x 103) = (6.3)(101) ÷ (26.1)(101) = (0.24137)(1) = 0.24137 Use the examples above to help you with the following problems: 1. (1,200)(0.0076) = 2. (23,045)(0.0345) = 3. (1,987,000)(3,000) = 4. (0.00453)(34.456) = 5. (1,245,000)(0.0045) = |
