Notice there is no decimal. IF you don't see one, it is all the way to the right. We want a number expressed in the following form:

where 0 < a < 10 and b is an integer.
step 1 - move the decimal left 3 jumps to get
5.580
step 2 - ask yourself how many jumps and in which direction?
# jumps = 3
direction = left
OUr answer is:
5.580 x 10^3
