Question

O 6.5 × 107
0 6.5 × 10-7
• 6.5 × 10-8
• 6.5 × 108

Answer 1

To write the number 0.000000065 in scientific notation, you shift the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, moving the decimal point 8 places to the right gives us 6.5.

Since we moved the decimal 8 places to the right, this results in a negative exponent. Therefore, 0.000000065 in scientific notation is:

6.5 × 10^-8

So the correct answer is: • 6.5 × 10^-8
