On the CLEP Algebra exam, are there going to be questions like "The average discharge at the mouths of the Amazon River is 4,200,000 cubic feet per second. How much is discharged from the Amazon River in 1 yr? Express the answer in terms of scientific notation."
I can sort of do this with a calculator (the only calculator I have that can handle such large numbers expresses the answer in scientific notation by default, so it skips the last step, converting to scientific notation), but I find such word problems intimidating. Will I have to face such questions on the test? Thanks.
