7\cdot10^(-1)

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Place a decimal by counting the steps to the left until the coefficient of the number is between 1 and 9.

so


0.700\rightarrow move\text{ the decimal place 1 position 7.000}

Step 2

Count the number of steps moved. This will be the power of the base 10.

Moving the decimal point to the right gives a negative exponent, whereas moving the decimal point to the left makes a positive exponent.

1 place to the rigth so the exponent is -1

Step 3

In this case, the coefficient is 7 and the 1 steps are moved

so, Multiply the coeeffcient by 10 exp(1), the (1) we got from the previous step

so, the number is scientific notation is


\begin{gathered} 0.700\rightarrow7\cdot10^(-1) \\ 7\cdot10^(-1) \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
