In scientific notation, 0.00467 is $4.67 \times 10^{- 3}$ $4.67xx10^(-3)$

Explanation:

Scientific notation always has a single digit in from of the decimal, followed by a power of 10.
In this case, we use negative exponents of 10, since
$10^{- 1} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$ $10^(-1)=1/10=0.1$
$10^{- 2} = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01$ $10^(-2)=1/100=0.01$
$10^{- 3} = \frac{1}{1000} = 0.001$ $10^(-3)=1/1000=0.001$
and so on.
0.00467 is the same as $\frac{4.67}{1000}$ $4.67/1000$ ,
and so
0.00467 is $4.67 \times 10^{- 3}$ $4.67xx10^(-3)$
