Scientific Notation I feel dumb for even asking

[mcknia07]

The problem is attached...

It asks for the answer to be shown in the form a,k. Whereas a is the base number and k is the exponent, with using the form of scientific notation.The answer I came up with was 9.782701624,1. I was told it's wrong and I don't know what the real answer would be then. I figured it out like 10 times.

Any help would be nice. Thanks!

Too many digits.

All of the numbers are given to 2 places after the decimal.

The answer should be as well. 9.78 x 10¹

Thank you Lowly

That was actually like my first answer according to like the rule of thumb of significant figures.

With that answer I got the response... According to your answer, you got 97.8. Is this correct? Check your calculations.

Ok I just figured it out, they wanted 9.78,0...I hate this program that I have to work with, it sucks majorly.

You need to give your answer to the same number of significant digits as the numbers in the problem.
