Answer 1

To convert the weight of a pitaya seed from scientific notation \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \) ounces to standard form, you can simply express it as a decimal.

1. The notation \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \) means you take the number 1 and move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
2. This gives you:

\[
0.001 \text{ ounces}
\]

Therefore, the weight of a pitaya seed in standard form is **0.001 ounces**.
