Question

The expression below is scientificnotation for what number? 4.58 • 10^-2

Answer 1

We are given the number in scientific notation:

`4.58*10^(-2)`

To convert it to decimal format, we need to move the decimal point two spaces to the left.

Since we don't have enough digits before the decimal point, we add two zeros before the 4:

`004.58*10^(-2)`

Now we move the point as required:

`004.58*10^(-2)=0.0458`

The required number is 0.0458
