Write the following measurements in scientific notation:

1. 800,000,000 m
2. 0.0015 kg

The key component to remember here is to keep the same significant figures
1) 800,000,000 ==> 8 x 100,000,000 ==> 8 x 10^8 m
2) 0.0015 ==> 1.5 x 0.001 ==> 1.5 x 10^-3 kg

8 10^8 and 1.5 10^-3

To convert measurements into scientific notation, express them as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of ten. For 800,000,000 m, it is 8.0 × 10^8 m, and for 0.0015 kg, it becomes 1.5 × 10^-3 kg. This format simplifies large and small numbers while preserving significant figures.
