A. 9,300
B. 93,000
C. 930,000
D. 9,300,000



Answer :

To convert the scientific notation [tex]\(9.3 \times 10^5\)[/tex] into standard notation, you need to understand what the exponent indicates. The exponent (5 in this case) tells us how many places to move the decimal point to the right.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Start with the number in scientific notation: [tex]\(9.3 \times 10^5\)[/tex].
2. Write down the base number: [tex]\(9.3\)[/tex].
3. Since the exponent is 5, move the decimal point 5 places to the right.

- 9.3 becomes 93 after moving the decimal point one place to the right.
- 93 becomes 930 after moving it another place to the right.
- 930 becomes 9300 after moving it another place to the right.
- 9300 becomes 93000 after moving it another place to the right.
- 93000 becomes 930000 after moving it another place to the right.

4. Therefore, [tex]\(9.3 \times 10^5\)[/tex] in standard notation is 930000.

The correct answer is:
C. 930,000
