Answer:


5.2 \cdot 10^(-2)

Explanation:

we need to write 52 thousandths in scientific notation

thousandths is 1/1000

52 thousandths is 52 times 1/1000


52 \cdot (1)/(1000)


(52)/(1000)

0.052

Now to get the decimal in scientific notation , move the decimal point after the first number


5.2 \cdot 10^(-2)
