In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," Lilliputians are described as being about 6 inches tall. If we consider a person from Lilliput to be 6 inches, then an insect that is 10 times shorter would be 0.6 inches tall. In scientific notation, this height can be expressed as (6.0 \times 10^{-1}) inches.
