The mass of a textbook is approximately 0.00175 metric ton. How is the number written in scientific notation?

To write a number or decimal in scientific notation, there has to be a number that isn't zero in the ones place. So, 0.00175 would be written as 1.75 times 10³.

Hope this helped!!!

NO!, not quite:

0.00175 = 1.75 x 10^-3 . Or: 1.75E-3
