Write the following number in standard form.

", "advice": "

First notice that $\\var{Num1}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}$ is not in standard form since $\\var{Num1}$ is not between 1 and 10. There are two options for how to put this in standard form. We could first write $\\var{Num1}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}$ as an ordinary number which would give us

\n

\\[\\var{Num1}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}=\\var{Num1*10^Pow1}\\]

\n

which we can then write in standard form as

\n

\\[\\var{Num1*10^Pow1}=\\var{dec2}\\times 10^\\var{pow2}.\\]

\n

Alternatively, we can write $\\var{Num1}$ in standard form which would give us

\n

\\[\\var{Num1}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}=\\var{dec2}\\times10^\\var{DecOffset}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}\\]

\n

and then we simply use the rules of exponents to multiply the two powers of 10 together to get

\n

\\[\\var{dec2}\\times10^\\var{DecOffset}\\times 10^\\var{Pow1}=\\var{dec2}\\times 10^\\var{pow2}.\\]
