Question

Express 0.006 in scientific notation

Answer 1

Hello!
To express the number 0.006 in scientific notation, or write the number in a different form where there are not as many zeroes, the first thing you need to do is move the decimal to the right until the number remaining is 1 or above and less than 10. When you do this, you should have moved the decimal right 3 times and resulted in 6. Then, multiply 6 by 10 to the power of the number of times you moved the decimal. This would result in your answer: 6*10^-3
**Note, when you move the decimal to the right, the power is negative and when you have to move it to the left, the power is positive

Have a great day!

Answer 2

6 x 10^-3 because the decimal point is 3 place value units away from the 6, and scientific notation is a x 10^n, where n can be a positive of a negative depending on the number
