How do you translate 0.036 into scientific notation?

Answer 1

To convert a decimal to scientific notation, you first need to divide the number by a power of ten such that the result has units as the greatest place value. In this case, you would divide by 0.01 to get 3.6

The next step is to take the amount you divided by (0.01) and express it as a power of 10 (10-2)

Thus, 0.036 in scientific notation is 3.6x10-2
