Question

How do you write 0.097 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Number 0.097 is a negative multiple of 10 so as we use whole numbers before decimal 1-9 we see that 9 being our first whole number we can only convert it to - 2 decimal places away for the first whole unit placement required - therefore 9.7 x 10^-2 is our answer

Answer 2

`9.7`
`x`
`10x^(-2)`

Explanation:

Since
`0.097` is below
`1`, you would move the decimal right
`2` times.

That will get you to
`9.7`.

Since we moved it right two times, we get a number in between
`10`.

Scientific notation:
`9.7`
`x`
`10^(-2)`.
