The problem requires us to write the number $6062.31$ in scientific notation.

1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to write the number $6062.31$ in scientific notation.

2. Solution Steps

To express a number in scientific notation, we write it in the form $a \times 10^b$, where $1 \le |a| < 10$ and $b$ is an integer.

We start with $6062.31$.

We need to move the decimal point to the left until we have a number between 1 and

1

0. In this case, we move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

So we have $6.06231$.

Since we moved the decimal point 3 places to the left, we multiply by $10^3$ to compensate.

Therefore, $6062.31 = 6.06231 \times 10^3$.

3. Final Answer

$6.06231 \times 10^3$
