Write 0.00105 in standard form?
The way you wrote it is the standard notation. Standard notation means to write the number in its standard form. So, a number such as 150 is simply written as 150 in standard notation. The same applies to decimals. Unless you are not in the USA, in which case Standard form (also known as "standard index form" or "scientific notation") requires a single non-zero digit before the decimal point and a multiplier of a power of 10 which gets the decimal point back to where it was in the original number. To calculated the power of the ten count how many digits the decimal point needs to move; if it needs to move to the left make it negative: 0.00105 = 1.05 × 10^-3

Metric tools are measured in millimeters and centimeters, while standard tools are measured in inches and fractions of an inch.
