Express the number in scientific notation.

0.003045
A) 0.3045 x 10-2
B) 3.045 x 103
C) 3.045 x 10-3
D) 30.45 x 102

Respuesta :

3.045*10^-3 is the scientific notation
0.003045

Simply move the decimal point from the left to the right and count the number of places.

From the point to 3.045 it moves 3 places to the right.

So:

0.003045 = 3.045 * 10⁻³            Option C

 The exponent is definitely going to be negative, because the number is less than 1.

I hope this helps.
