The problem asks you to express the value $0.0000547$ in scientific notation.

To convert a number to scientific notation:

1. Move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to its left. For $0.0000547$, moving the decimal point 5 places to the right gives $5.47$.
2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal. Since you moved it 5 places to the right, the exponent of 10 will be $-5$.

So, $0.0000547$ in scientific notation is $5.47 \times 10^{-5}$.

The correct answer is: $5.47 \times 10^{-5}$

Here are five related questions to consider:

1. How do you convert a number like 123,000 into scientific notation?
2. What does the exponent in scientific notation indicate about the number?
3. How can you express $7.89 \times 10^2$ as a regular decimal?
4. What is the scientific notation for $0.0000032$?
5. How would the scientific notation differ if the number was negative, such as $-0.0000547$?

Tip: When converting small decimal numbers to scientific notation, the exponent will be negative, indicating that the decimal point was moved to the right.
