1. Move the decimal point: Move the decimal point two places to the right, so it's after the "6": 0.062 becomes 6.2

2. Exponent: Since you moved the decimal two places to the right, the exponent is -2 (moving right means a negative exponent).

3. Combine: This gives you 6.2 x 10⁻²

Therefore, 0.062 in scientific notation is 6.2 x 10⁻²
