Question

If you converted 0.000013 to scientific notation, what would the prefix be to the correct number of significant digits?

Answer 1

1.3 * 10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are learning about scientific notation.

When a number becomes a decimal followed before with zeroes, we know that the value of that number is decreasing. So instead of usually doing a positive exponent, we will do a negative exponent indicating we are going back.

So let's not only count the amount of zeroes followed before 13, but the decimal.

0.000013

The original number "1.3" went back 5 spaces, therefore making our exponent 5.

1.3 * 10^-5
