Question

How do you write `5.1 times 10^-5` in standard notation?

Answer 1

0.000051

Explanation:

`5.1 xx 10^-5`

is in standard form or scientific notation. What I have assumed you perhaps mean is how do you write it as a number.

using `10^-5 = 1/10^5`

`rArr 5.1/10^5 = 5.1/100000`

`rArr 5.1 xx 10^-5 = 0.000051`
