How do i convert 0.0024 to scientific notation

To convert any number to scientific notation, write the first number other than zero, place a decimal, then follow with the other numbers. Then multiply that value by 10^x where x is used to make the value you wrote equal to the initial value. For example,

0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3

Thanks! This is so useful :)

yeah thanks

your awsome

To convert a number to scientific notation, you follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the non-zero digits in the given number. In your case, 0.0024 has two non-zero digits: 2 and 4.

Step 2: Move the decimal point to the right or left until only one non-zero digit remains to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of times you moved the decimal point and keep track of the direction.

In this example, you need to move the decimal point four places to the right to make 0.0024 into 24.

Step 3: Write the remaining digit(s) after making the decimal point shift. In this case, you will only have 24.

Step 4: Multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places moved.

In this example, since you moved the decimal point four places to the right, multiply 24 by 10 raised to the power of 4 (10^4), which equals 240,000.

Step 5: Express the result from Step 4 in scientific notation by putting the remaining digit(s) followed by the letter 'e', indicating "times ten to the power of," and then the power from Step 4.

The scientific notation for 0.0024 is 2.4e-3 (or 2.4 x 10^-3).

So, 0.0024 in scientific notation is 2.4e-3.
