Answer 3

\[\Large \frac{0.00003}{6000000}\qquad=\qquad \frac{3\times10^{-5}}{6\times10^{6}}\]

Answer 4

So it looks like that gives us,\[\Large 0.5\times10^{-11}\]Right?

And from there, we would want to move the decimal one place to the right so our leading value is between 1 and 10.

Answer 5

I hope you understand the last step.
To move the decimal one place to the right, we'll have to steal a power from the 10. So the exponent will become more negative.\[\Large 5\times10^{-12}\]
