Question

How do you write `0.2517` in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`0.2517` is `2.517` `xx` `10^-1` in scientific notation.

Explanation:

`0.2517` `xx` `10` `=` `2.517`

`2.517` `xx` `-10` `=` `0.2517`

`2.517` `xx` `10^-1` `=` `0.2517`

In scientific notation, numbers like `0.2517` are written with only `1` whole number and the rest of the digits are in the decimal system.
So `2` is the whole number and `5`,`1`,and `7` are in the decimal places as `0.517`.

`2` `+` `0.517` `=` `2.517`

`2.517` `xx` `10^-1` `=` `0.2517`
