What 0.56 in standard form?

Answer 1

5.6 x 10(-1)

Answer 2

Oh, isn't that just a happy little number! To write 0.56 in standard form, we move the decimal point two places to the right, which gives us 56. So, in standard form, 0.56 is 56. Just imagine that number smiling back at you on the canvas of mathematics!

Answer 3

In standard form, 0.56 would be written as 5.6 x 10^-1. This is because the decimal point is moved one place to the right to make it a number between 1 and 10, and the exponent indicates how many places the decimal point was moved.

Answer 4

Standard form requires a single non-zero digit before the decimal point and a multiplier of a power of 10 which gets the decimal point back to where it was in the original number. To calculated the power of the ten count how many digits the decimal point needs to move; if it needs to move to the left make it negative:

0.56 → 5.6 × 10^-1
