8. Ricky says that 0.12 x 108 is in scientific notation because you are
multiplying it by a power of 10.
Unfortunately he is incorrect. How would
you explain this problem to him? Write the
number in scientific notation.

it is not because he needs to move the decimal point so it is a number between 1, and 10.

this means move the point in 0.12 over to make it 1.2 since that is between one and ten :)

I actually just learned this not long ago

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
