write in scientific notation. 0.5(8 X 10^5)
8x10^5 = 800,000
times 800,000 by 0.5 (or just half it) would equal 400,000, which is translated to 4x10^5
The answer is: " 4 10⁵ " .

Explanation:
___________________________________
→ 0.5 (8 10⁵) = 0.5 8 10⁵ ;
___________________________________
→ 0.5 8 = (1/2) 8 = 4 ;
