Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. 0.051

The given number 5.1 × $10^{-2}$ has been written in scientific notation

$10^{-2}$ implies that division by 100 in 5.1

When we divide 5.1 × $10^{-2}$ means division by 100  in 5.1.

when we divide 5.1 by 100 decimal gets shifted by two numbers to the left.

5.1 × $10^{-2}$ = $\frac{5.1}{100}$

= 0.051

Therefore, Option B. 0.051 is the answer.
