#2.5times10^-2#

To write a number in scientific notation, we can write as follows:

#atimes10^n#, where #0< a<10# and n is an integer.

In this question, the most probable value of #a# would be #2.5#.

#2.5=0.025times100#

Therefore,
#0.025#

#=0.025times100divide100#

#=2.5divide100#

#=2.5times10^-2#

Note: #1/10^n=10^-n#
