Scientific Notation and Cookie Packaging

The video tutorial covers two main questions. The first question involves a cookie packaging problem where students learn to use factoring to determine how many cookies can be placed in each bag. The second question introduces scientific notation, explaining how to move the decimal point based on the exponent's sign. The tutorial provides examples and concludes with a summary and contact information for further questions.
