One fluid ounce is equivalent to 0.0078125 US liquid gallon. How do you write 0.0078125 in scientific notation?
To write 0.000456 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
Starting with 0.000456, we move the decimal point three places to the right, and obtain 4.56.
Since we moved the decimal point three places to the right, we need to multiply the number by 10 raised to the power of -3.
Thus, 0.000456 in scientific notation is written as 4.56 x 10^-3.
To write a number in scientific notation, you need to express it as a product of a decimal number and a power of 10.
Let's convert 0.000456 to scientific notation:
First, we count the number of decimal places in the original value before we reach a non-zero digit. In this case, there are four decimal places (0.000).
Next, we write the non-zero digits after the decimal point (456).
Finally, we multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places we counted earlier, but with a negative exponent since the original number is less than 1. In this case, it will be 10 raised to the power of -4.
Putting it all together, the scientific notation for 0.000456 would be:
4.56 x 10^-4
