Answer:
[tex]0.002403[/tex] [tex]= 2.403 * 10^{-3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]0.002403[/tex]
Required
Express as scientific notation
The rule of scientific notation is that:
It is represented in form of: [tex]a * 10^n[/tex] where [tex]1 \le a \le 10[/tex]
[tex]0.002403[/tex] will be represented as: a = 2.403; notice that the point was shifted forward by 3 units.
So:
n = -3
The equation becomes:
[tex]a * 10^n[/tex]
[tex]0.002403[/tex] [tex]= 2.403 * 10^{-3}[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]0.002403[/tex] [tex]= 2.4 * 10^{-3}[/tex]
