You’re almost there @PennyC99, just double check your answer for the second one.

0.00256 = 2.56 x 10^-3, so you need to move the decimal one more place to the left.

#13

310,200,000 to scientific notation = scientific notation: 3.102 X 108

2.56 X 10-3 to normal decimal representation = .00256

310,200,000 should convert to 3.102x10^8, or 3.102E8

2.56x10^(-4), or 2.56E(-4) should convert to 0.000256
