1. Move the decimal point:
* Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, you'll move it three places to the right: 0.0075 becomes 7.5
2. Count the decimal places:
* You moved the decimal point three places to the right.
3. Write the number in scientific notation:
* The number becomes 7.5 x 10^-3
Explanation:
* 7.5 is the number between 1 and 10.
* 10^-3 represents the movement of the decimal point. The negative exponent indicates that the decimal was moved to the right.
Therefore, 0.0075 in scientific notation is 7.5 x 10^-3
