Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this question you will that to move the decimal point as many times as the exponent. In this case you have a positive five as the exponent which means you will have to move the decimal point five times to the right. (if the exponent is a negative move the decimal point to the left)
[tex]6.17 \times 10^5[/tex]
Move 5 times to the right because the exponent is a positive:
6.1,7,0,0,0
[tex]6.17\times10^5 = 617000[/tex]
[tex]=617000[/tex]
Hope this helps.
