Answer 1

The decimal equivalent of 1.0^-2 is 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with small numbers, we use a negative exponent. So 0.1 can be written as 1 x 10-1. To find the decimal equivalent of 1.0-2, we need to move the decimal point two places to the left since the exponent is -2. This gives us a value of 0.01. Therefore, the correct decimal equivalent of 1.0-2 is 0.01.
