i am not able to solve this problem

First, 0.0004853 is < 1, so we need to multiply the number by 10 to a negative power if it's greater than 1 (if that makes sense i cant describe it better)
So, b and c is incorrect.
10 to the power of negative 4 = 0.0001, and 4.853 x 0.0001 = 0.0004853 (true), so answer is a
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
a number expressed in standard form is
a × [tex]10^{n}[/tex]
where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer
given
0.0004853 ( place the decimal point after the 4 )
= 4.853 × [tex]10^{n}[/tex]
to place the decimal point in its original position we require to shift it 4 places left , denoted by - 4 on the exponent , that is
0.0004853 = 4.853 × [tex]10^{-4}[/tex]
