Move the decimal point to make 0.00054 a new number between 1 and 10. Because our original number is less than one, we move the decimal point to the right. Drop any zeroes in front of the number. Keep track of how many times we move the decimal point.

0.00054 -> 5.4

Our new number is 5.4. We moved the decimal point 4 times.
