Answer: 1.2 x 10^-5

Step-by-step explanation: Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 1.2, 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

= 1.2 × 10-5
