Question

express this number in scientific notation. 0.0076 0.0076 = (use scientific notation. use the multiplication symbol in the math palette a

Explanation:

Step1: Move decimal point

Move the decimal point of 0.0076 to the right until we get a number between 1 and 10. We get 7.6. We moved the decimal point 3 places to the right.

Step2: Write in scientific - notation form

For a number in scientific notation \(a\times10^{n}\), where \(1\leqslant a<10\) and \(n\) is an integer. Since we moved the decimal point 3 places to the right for a number less than 1, \(n=- 3\) and \(a = 7.6\). So the scientific - notation is \(7.6\times10^{-3}\).

Answer:

\(7.6\times10^{-3}\)
