Explanation:

Step1: Move decimal point

Move the decimal point in \(0.000112\) to the right until there is only one non - zero digit to the left of the decimal point. We move it 4 places to get \(1.12\).

Step2: Determine power of 10

Since we moved the decimal point 4 places to the right, the exponent of \(10\) is \(- 4\).

Answer:

\(1.12\times10^{-4}\)
