Answer:

3.02x10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific notation consists of

c x 10^n

the c must be a number between 1-9, while n must be an integer.

it indicates the c being multiplied by the nth power of 10.

From 0.0000302, we need to move the decimal to after 3 so that 3.02 can be a number between 1-9. When moving the decimal point to the right side, each digit moved counts as -1 power of 10.

So, to give 3.02, we need to move the decimal by 5 digits. hence, we can conclude n = -5.

0.0000302 = 3.02x10^-5
