How do you convert 0.010 to scientific notation?

Answer 1

Shift two decimal places to the right from the starting position and we have:

1.0 × 10-2

Answer 2

To convert 0.010 to scientific notation, move the decimal point two places to the right and multiply by 10 raised to the power equal to the number of places moved. In this case, the decimal point shifts to the right two places, resulting in 1.0. Therefore, 0.010 can be written in scientific notation as 1.0 x 10^-2.
