4. Calculate the expression shown below and write the answer in scientific

notation: 0.003 x 1.25.​

Answer 1

`3.75 * 10^(-3)`

Explanation:

We are given the equation 0.003 * 1.25 and are asked to solve it and convert it into scientific notation.

We need to first solve it:

`0.003 * 1.25`

`==> 0.00375`

Now convert it into scientific notation, if there are numbers before the decimal point, it is a positive exponent, visa versa:

`0.00375 = 3.75 * 10^(-3)`
