Question

How do you write 0.035 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`0.035` written in scientific notation is `3.5*10^-2`

Explanation:

The scientific notation of a number is such that you write it on the form `m*10^n`, where `m` is between 1 and 10.

To get `0.035` between 1 and 10, we would have to multiply it with `100 = 10^2`. From this we get
`0.035=3.5*10^-2` since we must divide 3.5 on `10^2` to get 0.035
