To convert the length of the wasp's stinger from scientific notation to decimal notation, you take the number \(2.67 \times 10^{-3}\) and move the decimal point 3 places to the left (since the exponent is -3).
Starting with 2.67:
1. Move the decimal point one place to the left: 0.267
2. Move the decimal point a second place to the left: 0.0267
3. Move the decimal point a third place to the left: 0.00267
So, \(2.67 \times 10^{-3}\) in decimal notation is \(0.00267\) meters.
