Answer:
Hanna converted the number:
0.00000305
to:
3.05x10^6.
Now, when we have:
Ax10^n
This will "move" the value of A n times to the left, adding zeros when the decimals of A run over.
if we have
Ax10^-n
This will move A n times to the right.
Then the number:
3.05x10^6 = 3050000
This is clearly not the number that Hannah wanted to write.
The problem is that the exponent should be negative, if we have instead:
3.05x10^-6
We move our number 6 times to the right, adding zeros when necessary.
3.05x10^-6 = 0.00000305.
So Hannah is incorrect, she should wrote 0.00000305 = 3.05x10^-6
