Question 495138: Hi.
My son is learning 'powers'. So he takes the number 1,000 and
writes it out with powers. (one times 10 to the third power plus one times ten to the second power etc).
Question How are fractions represented using powers? For instance 1234.56, how would you represent the .56 as power (is it 5 times 10 to the .1 power plus 6 times ten to the .01 power)?
Thank you
