Question

What is two hundred sixty-five thousandths in standard form?

Answer 1

Answer:

10^-1*2.65

Step-by-step explanation:

two hundred sixty-five thousandths= 0.265

We need a number between 1 and 10, to do the multiplication in standard form, so 0.265 turns into 2.65.

Because 2.65 becomes, smaller we use a negative power. We only move the decimal place once to the left, so we would multiply 2.65 by 10^1.

10^-1*2.65=0.265
