Question

how do you write 0.0270 in scientific notation? × 10

Explanation:

Step1: Move decimal point

Move the decimal point in 0.0270 to the right until there is only one non - zero digit to the left of the decimal point. We get 2.70.

Step2: Determine exponent

We moved the decimal point 2 places to the right. For a number less than 1, the exponent of 10 is negative. So the exponent is - 2.
