Write 7.008 × 10^3 as a normal number

Step by step

The question

Question: write 7.008 × 10³ as a normal number.

1 Read the power

10³ is 1000.

Times 1000 makes the number bigger, so the point moves 3 places to the right.

2 Move the point

We write the digits.

The point is at the end now, so we leave it out.

So 7.008 × 10³ = 7008.

3 Check

Let's check: times 1000.

7.008 times 1000 is 7008.

It works!

Let's look back.

First: read the power.

Then: move the point.

Last: check.
