Step-by-step explanation:

The place value of a digit to the right of the decimal point is 10 to the negative power of the digit count. The 1st digit right of the decimal point has a place value of 10^-1.

Here, the most significant digit of 0.000000016 is in the 8th place to the right of the decimal point, so its place value is 10^-8.

  0.000000016 = 1.6×10^-8

Another way to write the same number is 1.6E-8. (The "E" is a stand-in for ×10^.)

Your (graphing or scientific) calculator or a spreadsheet can display this in scientific notation for you.
