Use numbers expressed in scientific notation to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other.
MGSE8.EE.4
Add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Understand scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g. use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology (e.g. calculators).
