How do you write 0.00007112 in scientific notation?

the answer to that is 7.112 × 10 -5

7.112 x
`10^(-5)`

Explanation:

You need to re-write the number so that it is 1 or larger but less than 10. To do that, we need to move the decimal 5 spaces to the right. The actually number is smaller. The
`10^(-5)` is telling me how much smaller the number actually is. To get the number in standard notation I would have to take 7.112 and divide it by 100,000.
