Answer 1

Answer:

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm$

Explanation:

Given

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = [\ ]cm$

Required

Solve

Apply law of indices

$4 * \frac{1}{10^5}cm = [\ ]cm$

Evaluate 10^5

$4 * \frac{1}{100000}cm = [\ ]cm$

$4 * 0.00001cm = [\ ]cm$

$0.00004cm = [\ ]cm$

Hence:

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm$
