Answer:

According to the text

"Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 1, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10.

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative. n = -5.

Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n = 1 × 10-5""
