Question

write $6 \times 10^{-8}$ in standard form. type the number in the box.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation to standard form

For a number in scientific notation \( a \times 10^n \), if \( n \) is negative, we move the decimal point \( |n| \) places to the left. Here, \( a = 6 \) and \( n=-8 \), so we move the decimal point 8 places to the left.

Step2: Convert \( 6\times10^{-8} \)

Starting with 6 (which is \( 6.0 \)), moving the decimal point 8 places to the left: we get \( 0.00000006 \).

Answer:

\( 0.00000006 \)
