Question

0.0002077 scientific notation

Answer 1

`2.077` ×
`10^(-4)`

Explanation:

To convert to scientific notation, you need the number to be less than 10, but greater than 1 and is multiplied by a base of 10 to the power of the number of times you moved the decimal. So you need to shift the decimal place 4 times to the right to get to 2.077 (which is less than 10, but greater than 1). The next part is that you’ll need a base number, which is 10 because your moving the decimal by 10s. Since the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. You moved it 4 times so it’s
`10^(-4)`. The finished answer is:

`2.077` ×
`10^(-4)`
