Step 1: Since 50 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 50.
50.
Step 2: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
5.0.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 1 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 1.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 5.0 (which can be written as 5 )
Exponent = 1
So, the solution is:
$$50 = \color{blue}{ 5 } \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 1 }}$$
