HELP 25 POINTS +BRAINIEST The weight of a substance measures 3 × 10^-3. grams. Express this weight in standard notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large and very small numbers.

A number in scientific notation has the form  

N

×

10

a

, where  

N

is a number between 1 and 10, and  

a

is a positive or negative integer.

To convert to scientific notation, you move the decimal point until the new form is a number between 1 and 10 (

N

) and then record the exponent (

a

) as the number of places the decimal point was moved.

If you move the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.

Express  

0.000 000 03 g

in scientific notation.

Step 1. Move the decimal place to the right to create a new number between 1 and 10.

This gives  

N

=

3

.

Step 2. Count the number of times you moved the decimal.

You moved the decimal 8 places to the right.

That means the exponent  

a

=

-8

.

Step 3. Write the number in scientific notation.

0.000 000 03 g

=

3
