What is the scientific notation for 950?

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

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

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

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

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 9.5 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 2

Now the whole thing:

9.5 x 102

Check your work:

102 = 100 x 9.5 = 950

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
