To write the population of the country, given in scientific notation as [tex]\( 6.51 \times 10^5 \)[/tex], as an ordinary number, we need to follow a series of steps:
1. Understand Scientific Notation: The notation [tex]\( 6.51 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] means we need to multiply 6.51 by [tex]\( 10 \)[/tex] raised to the power of 5.
2. Simplify the Exponentiation: Raising 10 to the power of 5 gives us 100,000. This is because [tex]\( 10^5 \)[/tex] equals 10 multiplied by itself five times:
[tex]\[
10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 100,000
\][/tex]
3. Multiply the Significant Figure by the Power of 10: Now, we multiply the significant figure 6.51 by 100,000:
[tex]\[
6.51 \times 100,000
\][/tex]
4. Perform the Multiplication:
[tex]\[
6.51 \times 100,000 = 651,000
\][/tex]
Therefore, the population of the country written as an ordinary number is 651,000.
