Answer 1

To convert the scientific notation $2.67\times {10}^{-3}$ meters to decimal notation, you move the decimal point to the left by three places (since the exponent is -3).

Starting with $2.67$:

1. Move the decimal point one place to the left: $0.267$
2. Move it again: $0.0267$
3. Move it a third time: $0.00267$

Therefore, the length of the wasp's stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
