Answer:
0.00123
Explanation:
Standard notation is the normal way of writing numbers. Examples include 1, 2, and 10. The number 1.23 x 10^-3 is written in scientific notation. The decimal goes after the first nonzero integer and it is multiplied by a power of 10. The power or exponent attached to the 10 tells you how many places over you need to move the decimal to get back into scientific notation. Examples include 1.00 x 10^2 (representing 100 in standard form because you would move the decimal two places to the right.), 2.0 x 10^1 (representing 20 in standard form because you would move the decimal one place to the right), and 3.0 x 10^-4 (representing 0.0003 in standard form because you would move the decimal four places to the left since it is a negative exponent).
The negative (-3) exponent in 1.23 x 10^-3 indicated to move the decimal three places to the left. If it was positive, you would move it three places to the right.
In 1.23 x 10^-3 move the decimal to the left 1 place to get:
0.123
two places to get:
0.0123
and a third place to get:
0.00123
The final answer is 0.00123
