Given the decimal:
0.345
Change to scientific notation.
Solution:
In order to change a number in standard form to scientific notation, simply count the number of zeros and non zeros excluding the final digit for the whole number, and for the decimal we only include the 1 non zero. The given number has a total of 0 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is -1. The non-zero number excluding the first non-zero digit will be written in decimal point.
= 3.45 x 10^-1
Final answer:
= 3.45 x 10^-1
