what is the answer for 1.67 x 10(-24)

Question

 

 THIS IS FOR MY MATH HOME WORK AND DON'T know if I move the point right or left 24 spaces.

 

Answer 1

Try breaking down your problem into simpler steps.

 

What do you get when you multiply 1.67 x 10²? What happens to the decimal place?

 

Try increasing the value of the exponent: 1.67 x 10⁴? Where does the decimal place go?

 

Now what do you suppose will happen if you decrease the exponent? What's 1.67 x 10¹?

 

What is 1.67 x 10^-1? 1.67 x 10^-2?

 

Can you now figure out what you should do?
