how can i write 0.000056 in...?

Question

0.000056 in scientific notation? plz include how you did this thanks :)

Answer 1

5.6 x 10^-5

Just find the first non-zero digit and put the decimal point after it. Next figure out how far you moved the decimal point. If you moved it left you make the exponent positive. If you moved it right, make the exponent negative.

In this case you moved it to the *right* 5 places, so the answer is:

5.6 x 10^-5

Answer 2

For scientific notation you need to have a a number 0-9. So, move the decimal over 5 places, and you get 5.6. Since you moved the decimal to the right 5 times, you will need to have to multiply by 10^something negative, which is 5 in this case, you you get 5.6 x 10^-5

Answer 3

5.6 * 10^-5
Scientific notation are in form m * 10^n, where |m|<10, m isn't equal to 0. m should be expressed as decimal. n should be an integers.

Answer 4

the answer is 5.6 x 10^-5

you take the two digits that are important (ie not leading zeros) and you move the decimal point until it's directly behind the leading number and multipy by 10 raised to the power of however many places you move the decimal place forward (+) or backward (-).

Answer 5

56/1000000 = 56/10^6
you have 6 zeros after dot, that means that you divide by 1000000

similarly 0.1 = 1/10
0.01 =1/100

think about it

Answer 6

~~~
= 56 * 1/1000000
= 56 * 1/10^ 6
= 56 * 10 ^ -6
~~~
