This math topic focuses on converting various large numbers into scientific notation with precision to 2 decimal places. The problems provide a number and multiple-choice answers, each depicting the number in scientific notation but with different exponents or coefficient formats. The task requires understanding how to express large numbers compactly and accurately using powers of ten while adhering to the standard form where the coefficient is a number ≥1 and <10. The goal is to strengthen skills in manipulating and understanding the structure of scientific notation.
