Explanation
Step 1
Place a decimal by counting the steps to the left until the coefficient of the number is between 1 and 9.
so
[tex]0.700\rightarrow move\text{ the decimal place 1 position 7.000}[/tex]Step 2
Count the number of steps moved. This will be the power of the base 10.
Moving the decimal point to the right gives a negative exponent, whereas moving the decimal point to the left makes a positive exponent.
1 place to the rigth so the exponent is -1
Step 3
In this case, the coefficient is 7 and the 1 steps are moved
so, Multiply the coeeffcient by 10 exp(1), the (1) we got from the previous step
so, the number is scientific notation is
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.700\rightarrow7\cdot10^{-1} \\ 7\cdot10^{-1} \end{gathered}[/tex]I hope this helps you
