Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a number into scientific notation, we move the decimal point until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move it three places to the left to get 3.1313. We then multiply by 10 raised to the power of how many places we moved the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the answer is 3.1313 x 10^2.
