Answer 1

Answer:

Option 3 -  $1.3E-2=0.013$

option 4 -   $1.3E-2=1.3\times 10^{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kory calculated several numbers in his calculator. The result displayed 1.3E-2 on the calculator screen.

To find : Which equivalent number(s) does this represent?

Solution :

The result displayed 1.3E-2 on the calculator screen is written in scientific notation where E represents 10 to the power.

So, We can write 1.3E-2 in standard notation,

$1.3E-2=1.3\times 10^{-2}$

or $1.3E-2=\frac{13}{10}\times \frac{1}{100}$

$1.3E-2=0.013$

Therefore, Option 3 and 4 are equivalent.

Answer 2

Answer:

• 0.013
• 1.3×10^(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators use "E" to signify "×10^( )". Thus ...

... 1.3E-2 = 1.3×10^(-2)

This number in scientific notation is equivalent to the standard form number ...

... 1.3×0.01 = 0.013
