Write 0.000046 in scientific notation

The answer would be 4.6 x 10^-5

Hello there! :)

Numbers in scientific notation look like this:

x10^-

The coefficient must be between 1 and 10:

4.6x10^-

Now,the exponent is how many units we move the decimal place.

The exponent for this number is negative because the number is small.

We move the decimal point 5 times to the left.

Therefore, 0.000046 in scientific notation looks like so:

4.6x10^-5

Hope it helps.
