The answer is 0.00001267 m = 1.267 * 10^(-5) m. In scientific notation, the number is written as two factors - a number m from 0-10 and 10 raised to the n power: m x 10^n. 0.00001267 m = 1.267 x 0.00001 m. 0.00001 m = (0.1)^5 = 10^(-5). So: 0.00001267 m = 1.267 x 0.00001 m = 1.267 x (0.1)^5 m = 1.267 x 10^(-5) m.
