Answer:

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:


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).
