No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
its 5.5 rather than 5 and a half (or 5 1/2) It means that you represent fractions of numbers in tenths (and hundredths, thousandths, etc) rather than in fractions (or in eighths or twelfths or some such). the above notation would be expected in the US. However, in Europe, the notation would be 5,5 for 5 and a half. Basically, the Europeans reverse the use of comma and period in their decimal notation.
Scientific notation gives a compact notation, which is especially useful for writing down - and doing calculations with - very large, and very small, numbers.
It is important to have the decimal place in the correct position when doing calculations manually.
3,560,000 in scientific notation is written as 3.56 x 10^6. This notation represents the number 3.56 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6, which is equivalent to moving the decimal point 6 places to the right to convert the number into a standard form.
If you want to be lazy and convert your decimal notation measurements to architectural without doing any math at all, try using an online notation converter like decitectural.com.

terminating decimal good luck with what you doing :)

Oh, isn't rounding numbers just a delight? Let's take a look at 24.51. When we round it to two decimal places, it becomes 24.51. Just a little touch-up to keep things neat and tidy. Remember, there are no mistakes in rounding, just happy little adjustments.

Yes, you can.

1.98282 x 10^8 but there is no benefit to doing so.

Oh, dude, a bar notation is just a way to represent repeating decimals in math. It's like when you're too lazy to keep writing the same digits over and over again, so you just slap a bar over them and call it a day. It's basically the math world's way of saying, "I could write this out forever, but let's not and say we did."
