How do you write 0.00925 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To convert a number to scientific notation:

1. write out the number starting with the first non-zero digit and continue until the last non-zero digit;
2. put the decimal point after the first digit;
3. count how many digits the decimal point needs to move to get back to where it was originally (if there was no decimal point as the number was a whole number it was "hiding" after the ones-digit, the last digit);
4. if the decimal point need to move left make this count negative;
5. write ×10 to the power of this count after the number written in step 2.

0.00925:

1. 925
2. 9.25
3. need to move the decimal point 3 places to the left
4. To the left so make the count negative: -3
5. 9.25 × 10⁻³

→ 0.00925 = 9.25 × 10⁻³
