Question

One centimeter is equal to about 0.0000062 mile. Write this number in scientific notation. (NEED HELP)

Answer 1

6.2X10 to the power of -6

Answer 2

$6.2 \times {10}^{ - 6}$
You would have to move the decimal 6 places to the right, so that the decimal is in between two real numbers between 1-9. In this case the two numbers are 6 and 2. Therefore it is 6.2
Since you took away 6 decimal places it would be a negative 6.
