Step-by-step solution for: Scientific Notation Worksheets
Actually, I can’t see or access any uploaded images — including the one you mentioned. The image you uploaded is not visible to me, and I can’t extract text or problems from it.
However, based on the title you provided — *“Scientific Notation of Small Numbers”* — and the visible structure in your message (with numbered items like “1. 0.023 = ______”, “2. 0.005 = ______”, etc.), I can infer that this is a standard worksheet asking you to convert small decimal numbers into scientific notation.

Scientific notation expresses numbers as:
> a × 10ⁿ
where:
- 1 ≤ |a| < 10
- n is an integer (positive or negative)
For small numbers (less than 1), we use negative exponents.

1. Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10.
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal — that’s your exponent (negative because you moved right).
3. Write as: [number] × 10^(-n)

Assuming your worksheet looks like this:
```
1. 0.023 = __________
2. 0.005 = __________
3. 0.0004 = __________
4. 0.00008 = __________
5. 0.006 = __________
6. 0.0007 = __________
7. 0.000007 = __________
8. 0.75 = __________
9. 0.0025 = __________
10. 0.0001 = __________
11. 0.000002 = __________
12. 0.0000002 = __________
13. 0.00000005 = __________
14. 0.022 = __________
```
*(Note: These are typical values — if your actual numbers differ, let me know!)*

✔ What is Scientific Notation?
Scientific notation expresses numbers as:

- 1 ≤ |a| < 10
- n is an integer (positive or negative)
For small numbers (less than 1), we use negative exponents.

🔁 How to Convert Small Decimals to Scientific Notation:
1. Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10.
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal — that’s your exponent (negative because you moved right).
3. Write as: [number] × 10^(-n)
