How would you put these numbers in order using Scientific Notation?

0.53x10*7, 5300x10*-1, 5.3x10*5, 530x10*8





the little stars things to show that the number to the right of them is a exponentHow would you put these numbers in order using Scientific Notation?
5.3 x 10^6, 5.3 x 10^2, 5.3 x 10^5, 5.3 x 10^10


Just count the number of decimal points that you have to slide to make your # from 1 to 10 (eg: 1 to the right means you subtract 1 from your exponent, 3 to the left means you add 3 to you exponent, etc.)





That's the 2nd one I did when no one else could. Come across with some points or there won't be a third time, Dex.How would you put these numbers in order using Scientific Notation?
5300x10^-1 = 530 =0.53X10^-3





5.3x10^5 = 0.53x10^6





530x10^8 = 0.53x10^11





The higher exponent means that the number is very high so it's easy.
