Water Treatment Plant

Engineering Department

At a large water treatment plant, engineers recorded that one of the main storage tanks holds 460,000 litres of water when full. For easy representation in reports, they need to express this volume in standard form.

What is the answer?

FULL

CAPACITY

460,000 L

📊 Convert to Standard Form

Original Value: 460,000 litres

                    Standard Form:
                    ?
                

Select the correct response from the choices given:

46 × 10⁴

0.46 × 10⁶

4.6 × 10⁵

4.6 × 10⁴

👏

💡 Standard Form

Standard form is written as: a × 10ⁿ

Where a is a number between 1 and 10, and n is an integer.

For 460,000: Move the decimal point 5 places to get 4.6, so it becomes 4.6 × 10⁵
