4.74 * 10^-7
write the significant digits as a number from 1 to 9 and then
just count left or right
Ohhh okay thanks
To write 0.000000474 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until we have a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10.
Step 1: Count the number of decimal places to the right of the first non-zero digit. In this case, there are 8 decimal places.
Step 2: Rewrite the number without the leading zeros but keep the decimal point in the same position. This gives us 4.74.
Step 3: Determine the exponent by counting the number of places the decimal point was moved. Since we moved the decimal point 8 places to the right, the exponent is -8.
Putting it all together, 0.000000474 in scientific notation is 4.74 x 10^-8.
