1/0.000015 in scientific notation. Please explain how to do this.
1/0.000015 = 1/1.5E-5
Divide the two parts; i.e., 1/1.5 and 1/1E-5
Divide 1/1.5 = 0.667
Divide 1/1E-5 = 1E5.
Answer is 0.667E5 or 6.67E4 in scientific notation.
1/3.093.000
To express a number in scientific notation, you need to write it in the form of a x 10^b, where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (but not 10 itself) and "b" is an integer.
To convert 1/0.000015 into scientific notation, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the given number as a decimal.
1/0.000015 = 66666.66667
Step 2: Move the decimal point to the left, counting the number of places you moved, in order to get a number between 1 and 10.
66666.66667 = 6.666666667 x 10
Step 3: Determine the exponent "b" value by counting the number of places you moved the decimal point in step 2, but in the opposite direction.
Since we moved the decimal point 5 places to the left, the exponent "b" is -5.
Therefore, 1/0.000015 in scientific notation is approximately 6.666666667 x 10^(-5).
