The answer is 0.0023

The interpretation is determined by the exponent of the 10.

If the exponent is negative, then you move the decimal that # of places to the left.

If the exponent is positive, then you move the decimal that # of places to the right.

In your example, I moved the decimal three places to the right, and that gives me 0.0023.

In the example, "7.53 x 10^4", I would move the decimal place four places to the right. Therefore, the number represented is 75,300

Think of it simply like this if you don't get it. What is 5 x 10^1? You can better write this as 5 x 10 because 10 to the 1 power is just 10. It is easy, right? 5 x 10 = 50

Well, 5 x 10^1 just means that you moved the decimal place over one place to the right. Isn't that what we did? 5.0 with the decimal place moved over to the right one place is 50.
