To write 0.00145 in scientific notation, we first move the decimal so only one figure appears to the left of the decimal. Here's that shift: 0.00145 => 1.45 But we need to account for the movement with a power of ten. Moving the decimal to the right, which we just did, will mean a negative power of ten. And the power of ten will be an integer that is equal to the number of places we moved the decimal. In this case, we moved it 3 places. That means our exponent on the 10 will be a -3. Here it is: 1.45 x 10-3 And we're done.
