Answer

This answer is

[tex]24 * 10^4[/tex]

Explanation:

In power of ten notation, exponent tells us that how many times 10 is to be multiplied by itself to equal the number we wish to write. So we can write the above scenario as follows:

[tex]240,000 * 10^0[/tex]

[tex]240, 00 * 10^1[/tex]

[tex]240, 0 * 10^2[/tex]

[tex]240 * 10^3[/tex]

[tex]24 * 10^4[/tex]

So, the 10 will be multiply 4 times with 24 to get the same answer as 240,000

The answer is [tex]24 * 10^4[/tex]
