Question

What is the standard form of 0.00849​

Answer 1

when a number is given in that manner you have to take that decimal between two whole numbers.

and that is the main reason why I took that decimal from 0.0 to 8.49 and since it went towards the right my answer is going to be 8.49 *10 raised to negative 3.

Answer 2

8.49 × 10⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a number: A. × 10ᵇ

(where 'A' is the number, b is the exponent over 10)

For the number "0.00849​", move the decimal point 3 places right so the exponent of 10 is -3.

Standard form: 8.49 × 10⁻³

Other examples of standard/scientific forms are: standard forms

i) 0.043, move the decimal point 2 places right = 4.3 × 10⁻²

ii) 4030, move the decimal point 3 places left = 4.03 × 10³
