Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the given number from scientific notation to decimal notation, we need to move the decimal point to the left or right depending on the sign of the exponent.

In this case, the exponent is negative (-3), which means we need to move the decimal point three places to the left.

Starting with 1.2, we move the decimal point three places to the left to get:

0.0012

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 0.0012.
