Since the exponent of the scientific notation is negative −3-3, move the decimal point 33 places to the left.

0.0025

Hope this Helps.

Caitlin1603,

Remember that if the exponent is negative you need to move to the left, and if the exponent is positive you need to move to the right.


  • 2.5 * 10^(-3)

  • 2.5 * 10^(-3) = .0025

Therefore your answer is ".0025."

Hope this helps!
