The distance between the sun and Jupiter is approximately 484,000,000 miles, how do you write it in scientific notation?

##4.84 xx 10^8##

Just place the decimal point to the right of the first non-zero digit to get the first factor. Take note that the first factor should always be between 1 and 10.

For the second factor, it should be 10 raised to a number, which will depend on the number of decimal places the original decimal point was moved.

In this problem, the decimal point was moved 8 units to the right, therefore the second factor is ##10^8##
