What is the definition of scientific notation?

  • Scientific notation is a handy way to shorten extremely large numbers with positive exponential values and also very small numbers with negative exponential values.
  • To shorten long numbers in scientific notation, be using positive exponents and decimals.
  • This is the standard way to write a number in scientific notation.
  • Remember that a scientific notation number must be authored in the format m×10^n.

For the given question;

The sample of the cell was broken in 11 pieces by Juan.

The weight of the each cell sample is 1. 8 x 10^{-8}grams.

Thus, the original sample weigh will be-

= 1. 8 x 10^{-8}grams x 11

=  1. 8 x 11 x 10^{-8}grams

= 19.8 x 10^{-8}grams

In the scientific notation.

= 1.98 x 10^{-7}grams

Thus, the original cell sample weigh broken by Juan was 1.98 x 10^{-7}grams.
