Scientific notation is the writing of a number as a decimal number with one digit left of the decimal and all the other digits to the right, and then the power of ten appropriate to expressing that number. Here we have 375,000 for our number. First we need to figure out where the decimal is going to be. It will, per the rule, be between the 3 and the 7. That puts it in a place where only the 3 is to the left of the decimal. (One digit, per the rule.) To get it there, we need to move the decimal to the left by five places. When we move the decimal to the left, we have to multiply by a positive power of 10 to correctly express the number. 375,000 = 3.75 x 105 for your answer in scientific notation.
