Question

How do you write 0.00467 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

In scientific notation, 0.00467 is `4.67xx10^(-3)`

Explanation:

Scientific notation always has a single digit in from of the decimal, followed by a power of 10.
In this case, we use negative exponents of 10, since
`10^(-1)=1/10=0.1`
`10^(-2)=1/100=0.01`
`10^(-3)=1/1000=0.001`
and so on.
0.00467 is the same as `4.67/1000`,
and so
0.00467 is `4.67xx10^(-3)`
