1. Move the decimal point:

Start with 0.00302 and move the decimal point three places to the right: 3.02

2. Count the moves:

You moved the decimal point three places to the right.

3. Write in scientific notation:

* The number you obtained after moving the decimal is 3.02

* Since you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.

* The exponent is equal to the number of places you moved the decimal (3).

Therefore, 0.00302 in scientific notation is 3.02 x 10⁻³
