The goal is to have a digit to the left in only the ones' place. Move the decimal over one to the right.

This gives us 9.0
But now we must deal with the exponents
Because we are moving to the right, it will be another negative.

This gives us 9.0x10 to the negative 3rd

ANSWER 9.0x10 to the negative 3rd
