To write eight hundred thousandths in scientific notation, you need to convert the number to a decimal form and then express it as a number multiplied by a power of 10.

Eight hundred thousandths can be written as 0.0008 in decimal form.

To convert this to scientific notation, you need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.

In this case, you need to move the decimal point four places to the right:

0.0008 -> 8.0

Since you moved the decimal point four places to the right, you will multiply the number by 10 raised to the power of -4 (because it's negative since you moved the decimal point to the right).

So, eight hundred thousandths in scientific notation is 8.0 x 10^(-4).
