count to the right until you get one non zero digit to the left of the decimal point. I think six. 2.35 * 10^-6
To convert a number into scientific notation, you need to express it in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (inclusive) and "b" is an integer that indicates the power of 10.
In the case of 0.00000235, you can start by moving the decimal point to the right until you end up with a number between 1 and 10.
To do this, count the number of places you moved the decimal point. In this case, you move it six places to the right, resulting in 2.35. Since you moved the decimal point to the right, the exponent will be negative.
Therefore, the scientific notation for 0.00000235 is 2.35 × 10^(-6).
