I have no idea, but I googled and picked the closest thing to what I thought was right.

CH3OH+HO2=CH2OH+H2O2

how did you go from a simple math expression to balancing a chemical equation?

Yea, that equals what my number is, but I need to know what the number looks like in decimals.

If it's 9.6 x 10^10, then it's 96,000,000,000. No decimals.

I have a TI-83 Plus... It just shows 9.6E10 and it doesn't change to decimals.

So let me get this straight. The E stands for 10 zeros?

TI-83 and it doesn't show decimals? No freakin' way. If that's a graphing calc, then it should show it depending on your settings, because I have a cheap Sharp calculator, and it shows it, you just gotta change the settings where you view it, I don't really remember how. Sorry.

It shows decimals. What I mean is, instead of showing 96,000,000,000 it shows 9.6E10 so I didn't really understand how to read it.

Thanks for the help people. going back to do my homework.

Well the E basically stands for the exponent. If I'm correct, most of this "scientific" stuff is a # x 10^#, as in your case it'd be 9.6 x 10^10. So the E will be the ^10. If it was 9.6E7, then it'll be 9.6 x 10^7. Not necessarily the amount of zeros, because in the problem you have, you had a decimal, which offsets the "places". If you had 9E10, then it'd be the number of zeros.

Simple terms would be I guess, the number of decimal places? I hope that cleared it up more than made it more confusing. LOL.
