REMEMBER THAT IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION YOU ARE TRYING TO EXPRESS YOUR VALUE AS THE LOWEST NUMBER, TIMES YOUR BASE TEN VALUE. IN YOUR PROBLEM, YOU NEED TO MOVE THE DECIMAL POINT SEVEN PLACES TO THE RIGHT >>>>>>> THEN YOU HAVE 2.4 >>>>> WHAT ABOUT YOUR BASE 10 VALUE? SINCE YOU MOVED THE DECIMAL TO THE RIGHT YOU ALWAYS HAVE A NEGATIVE BASE TEN VALUE - IF YOU MOVE YOUR DECIMAL TO THE LEFT YOU HAVE A POSITIVE BASE TEN VALUE. IN YOUR PROBLEM , WE MOVED THE DECIMAL SEVEN PLACES TO THE RIGHT, THEREFORE, 10^-7 >>>>> YOUR ANSWER IS >>>>>>>>>> 2.7 X 10^-7 >>>>>>> I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!?
