\n" ); document.write( "I'll do the first two problems to get you started.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Place the decimal point just after the 3 to get 3.00 or 3.0 basically.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we must move the decimal point 2 spots to the right to go from 3.0 to the original value 300.0
\n" ); document.write( "This \"move 2 spots to the right\" indicates the exponent over the 10 is 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore we the answer is \"3%2A10%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can replace the 3 with 3.0, but it's optional.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Place the decimal just after the leftmost nonzero digit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To go from 2.34 back to 0.234, we move the decimal point 1 spot to the left.
\n" ); document.write( "This time the exponent is negative since we're moving left.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's how we arrive at the answer \"2.34%2A10%5E%28-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can use a calculator to verify each answer.
