To do this in scientific notation, find the first counting number (anything above zero that isn't a decimal). That is 6. Put a decimal after it. This would be it 6.72. Now count the places before the 6 and after that add 1 more place for the six itself. There is 4 numbers before the 6 and therefore, there is a total of 5. Since it is a decimal, it would be to the negative fifth power. Now multiply 6.72 by 10 to the negative fifth power and this would make it scientific notation. The equation that is written out would be 6.72 x [tex]10^{-5} [/tex]
