How do you express 0.006 in scientific form?

To express 0.006 in scientific notation, follow these steps:

Identify the significant digits: In the number 0.006, the significant digits are 6.

Place the decimal point: Move the decimal point to the right until it is after the first significant digit (6). In this case, you would move the decimal point 3 places to the right. This gives 6.0.

Determine the exponent of 10: Since we moved the decimal point 3 places to the right, the exponent will be -3 (because the original number was less than 1).

Thus, 0.006 in scientific notation is written as:

6.0 × 10^(-3)
