Reword the following answer: To write the number 0.00125 in scientific notation, you need to move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. Here are the steps: 1. Start with the number: 0.00125 2. Move the decimal point three places to the right to get: 1.25 3. Count the number of places you moved the decimal. This will be the exponent on the 10 in the scientific notation. Since you moved the decimal three places, the exponent will be -3. The negative sign indicates that the original number was less than 1. 4. Write the number in scientific notation. The number 1.25 becomes the coefficient and 10 raised to the power of -3 becomes the base and exponent. So, 0.00125 in scientific notation is 1.25 x 10^-3
