Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. Then, count the number of places you moved the decimal and represent it as a power of 10. In this case, we can move the decimal point 7 places to the left, resulting in 3.0523. We represent this as 3.0523 x 10^7, which is choice B.
