Answer 2

Answer:

2.559 * 10^1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules of scientific notation (that I always remember)

    - the number must be between 1 and 9

    - if number gets smaller, exponent gets bigger; if number gets bigger, exponents gets smaller

25.59 is bigger than 9 so we move the decimal one place value to the left

and the number gets smaller meaning the exponent increases
