Answer:

8.55 x 10^-5

Explanation:

we need to write 0.0000855 in scientific notation

To get the number in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point after the first number

To get the decimal number after the first number we move the decimal point 5 places to the right

0.0000855 becomes 00008.55

We moved 5 places to the right, so we multiply by 10^-5


8.55 \cdot 10^(-5)
