1. Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, you need to move the decimal six places to the right: 6.2

2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal. This number will be the exponent of 10. Since you moved it six places to the right, the exponent is -6.

3. Combine the number and the exponent: 6.2 x 10⁻⁶

Therefore, 0.0000062 mile in scientific notation is 6.2 x 10⁻⁶ mile.
