Scientific Notation Word Problems
This lesson is about six carefully chosen scientific notation word problems along with their solutions.
Example #1:
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and its mass in scientific notation is about 1.9 × 1027.
Write the mass in standard notation.
Solution:
1.9 × 1027 = 1.9 × 10 × 1026 = 19 × 1026 = 1900000000000000000000000000
The mass of Jupiter in standard notation is 1900000000000000000000000000
Example #2:
It is predicted that the world population in 2025 may reach eight billion.
Write eight billion in scientific notation.
Solution:
Eight billion = 8000000000 = 8 × 109
Example #3:
The oxygen atom has a mass of about 0.00000000000000000000000003 kg. Write the mass of the oxygen atom in scientific notation.
Solution:
0.00000000000000000000000003 = 3 × 10-26 kg
Example #4:
The following masses which are parts of an atom are measured in grams.
Order the parts of an atom from greatest to least mass.
electron: 9.1096 × 10-28, neutron: 1.6749 × 10-24, proton: 1.6726 ×
