$3.00*10^-4$

When we write numbers in scientific notation, we want the first non-zero digit ahead of the decimal.

In our case, the decimal would be behind the $3$ . This means we must loop the decimal four times to the right.

The four will be the exponent on $10$ , but it'll be negative since we looped right. Thus, we have

$3.00*10^-4$

Hope this helps!
