$6.08 \times 10^{- 3}$ $6.08 xx 10^(-3)$

Explanation:

In scientific notation, a number is expressed in the form of $a \times 10^{n}$ $a xx 10^n$ , where $1 \leq a < 10$ $1<=a<10$ and $n$ $n$ is an integer. a is usually given to 3 significant figures unless a different level of accuracy is given.

To express 0.00608 in scientific notation, the decimal point has to move 3 places to the right, hence $n = - 3$ $n = -3$ . If the decimal point is moved to the left n is positive, i.e. $n > 0$ $n>0$
