Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For correct scientific notation, we need to have 1 number to the left of the decimal, and everything else to the right. Since our number is already less than 1, the exponent representing the number of places we move the decimal will be negative. We have to move the decimal 5 places to the right to get the 5 to the left of the decimal and everything else to the right, making this:
