1. By simply moving the period which separates the whole numbers from the decimal numbers between 1 and 5.
2. Thus, it then becomes 1.5
3. Next, is you have to count how many moves the period made from its point of origin hence, for this value is 3
4. Therefore, the scientific notation for the number is 1.5 x 10^3
