Question

Explain how you could write the mixed number 45 3/8 in
scientific notation. ​

Answer 1

Answer:-

$4.5375*10^1$

Further Explanation:

We know that

$45\frac{3}{8}=45+\frac{3}{8}$

$=45+0.375=45.37545$

Convert decimal number in scientific notation

A number expressed in scientific notation has the form

$a*10^{n}$

Where,

$1\leq a \leq 101≤a≤10$

n is a integer

Expressing 45.375 in this form means writing the number as a value between 1 and 10

so,

For a=4 and n=1

$4.5375*10^1$
