Answer 1

Given:

The signal from a certain satellite takes approximately 0.0029 seconds to reach earth.

we will write the number in a scientific notation

The scientific notation is the number that is between 1 and 9 multiplied by 10 raised to an exponent

So, the given number will be:

$0.0029=\frac{29}{10000}=\frac{29}{10}\times\frac{1}{1000}=2.9\times10^{-3}$
