Answer :
Hello there! :)
Numbers in scientific notation look like this:
____x10^-
The coefficient must be between 1 and 10:
4.6x10^-
Now,the exponent is how many units we move the decimal place.
The exponent for this number is negative because the number is small.
We move the decimal point 5 times to the left.
Therefore, 0.000046 in scientific notation looks like so:
4.6x10^-5
Hope it helps.
