Answer 1

the number 301 can be written as three hundred one.

Answer 2

Answer:

3.01 x $10^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

• Original Number: 301

• New Number: 3.01

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:   3 . 0 1

Decimal Count:   1 2

There are 2 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x $10^{b}$

a = 3.01

b = 2

Now the whole thing:

3.01 x $10^{2}$

Step 4

Check your work:

$10^{2}$ = 100 x 3.01 = 301
