Q:
The expression of 5008 km in scientific notation is
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms
Explanation: We know that, any decimal number when multiplied by the multiples of 10, the decimal point moves to right the number of zeroes in the multiplying number.
For example ::
0.0410 x 100 = 4.10 (Number of zeros in 100 are 2. So, the decimal point in 0.0410 moves two places to the right and becomes 4.10.)
Similarly, here in the option C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms it makes 5008 kms as the number of zeros in 10^3 i.e, 1000 are 3 and 5.008 becomes 5008.
