Write 0.00006009 in scientific notation.

Remember when we told you that you could write very small numbers using scientific notation? Well, here's your big (or really small) chance.

Like before, move the decimal until you get a number between 1 and 10. This time, it's five jumps to the right.

Drop all of the non-significant zeros.

Since we moved the decimal right instead of left this time, the exponent will be negative. Multiply the coefficient by 10 to the power of -5.
