Question

5) Write in Scientific Notation:
0.000093
What’s the answer

Answer 1

9.3 * 10^-5

Explanation:

0.000093

For scientific notation, you need a number that is from 1 to under 10 multiplied by an integer power of 10.

We see we can get 9.3 out of this number, and 9.3 is from 1 to under 10.

To change 0.000093 to 9.3, the decimal point moves 5 place to the right which makes the number 10^5 times greater, so you need to multiply 9.3 by 10^-5 to make it 10^5 times smaller again and equal to the original number.

0.000093 = 9.3 * 10^-5
