Question

Write 0.0000004954 in scientific notation.

Answer 1

By scientific notation I am assuming you mean standard form, as that is used primarily in scientific calculations. The answer in standard form would be
$4.954 \times {10}^{ - 7}$
I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Scientific notation is when you move the decimal point to make it a number with decimal places times 10^xth power.

For this problem, the scientific notation would be:

4.954*10^-7.

4.954 is the number when you move the decimal 7 times. The number is "10^-7" because you move the decimal 7 times to the left to make the number smaller, rather than making it bigger.

Hope this helps!
