You have already compared and ordered
integers. (Lesson 2–1)
• Express numbers in standard form and in
scientific notation.
• Compare and order numbers written in
scientific notation.
• standard form
• scientific notation
Express Numbers in Standard Form
A. Express 3 × 105 in standard form.
3 × 105 = 3 × 100,000
= 300,000
Answer: 300,000
105 = 100,000
Move the decimal
point 5 places to the
right.
Express Numbers in Standard Form
B. Express 4.395 × 104 in standard form.
4.395 × 104 = 4.395 × 10,000
= 43950
Answer: 43,950
104 = 10,000
Move the decimal
point 4 places to the
right.
Express Numbers in Standard Form
C. Express 6.79 × 10–6 in standard form.
6.79 × 10–6 = 6.79 × 0.000001
= 0.00000679
Answer: 0.00000679
10–6 = 0.000001
Move the decimal point
6 places to the left.
A. Express 5 × 104 in standard form.
A. 5,000
B. 50,000
C. 500,000
D. 5,000,000

C. Express 8.03 × 10–4 in standard form.
A. 80,300
B. 8.030
C. 0.000803
D. 0.0803
Express Numbers in Scientific Notation
A. Express 800,000 in scientific notation.
800,000 = 8.0 × 100,000
= 8.0 × 105
Answer: 8.0 × 105
The decimal point moves
5 places.
The exponent is positive.
Express Numbers in Scientific Notation
B. Express 64,000 in scientific notation.
64,000 = 6.4 × 10,000
= 6.4 × 104
Answer: 6.4 × 104
The decimal point moves
4 places.
The exponent is positive.
Express Numbers in Scientific Notation
C. Express 0.0119 in scientific notation.
0.0119 = 1.19 × 0.01
= 1.19 × 10–2
Answer: 1.19 × 10–2
The decimal point moves
2 places.
The exponent is negative.

Solve Problems Using Scientific Notation
DIMES A dime is 1.35 × 10–3 meters thick. What
would the height of a stack of one million dimes be
in scientific notation?
Understand You know that a dime is 1.35 × 10–3
meters thick and that there are 1 million
dimes in the stack. You need to know
how thick the stack is.
Plan
Write 1 million in scientific notation. Multiply
the thickness of a dime by the number of
dimes in the stack to find the total thickness
of the stack.
Solve Problems Using Scientific Notation
Solve
1 million
= 1.0 × 106
thickness of = thickness of 1 dime ×
stack
number in stack
= (1.35 × 10–3 m) × (1.0 × 106)
= 1.35 × 10–3 + 6 m
= 1.35 × 103 m
Answer: So, the height of the stack is 1.35 × 103 m.
Check Check using mental math.
(1.35 × 10–3)(1 × 106) = (1.35 × 1.0)(10–3 × 106)
= 1.35 × 103 
A quarter is 1.75 × 10–3 meters thick. What would be
the height of a stack of one billion quarters in
scientific notation?
A. 1.75 × 106 m
B. 1.75 × 109 m
C. 1.75 × 1012 m
D. 1.75 × 1015 m
Order Numbers in Scientific Notation
SPACE The diameters of Neptune, Saturn,
and Uranus are 4.9 × 104 km, 1.2 × 105 km, and
5.1 × 104 km, respectively. Order the planets
from greatest to least diameter.
Step 1
Order the numbers according to their
exponents.
Saturn has the greatest exponent so it is the
largest.
Order Numbers in Scientific Notation
Step 2
Order the numbers with the same exponent
by comparing the factors.
5.1
>
Uranus
5.1 × 104 >
4.9
Neptune
4.9 × 104
Answer: So, the order is Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The diameters of Earth, Jupiter, and Mercury are
1.55 × 108 km, 7.79 × 108 km, and 5.80 × 107 km,
respectively. Order the diameters from smallest to
largest diameter.
A. Mercury, Earth, Jupiter
B. Mercury, Jupiter, Earth
C. Earth, Jupiter, Mercury
D. Earth, Mercury, Jupiter
