Simplify and express in standard form \(\frac{0.00275 \times 0.0064}{0.025 \times 0.08}\)
- 8.8 x 10-1
- 8.8 x 10-2
-
8.8 x 10-3
- 8.8 x 103
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
\(\frac{0.00275 \times 0.0064}{0.025 \times 0.08}\)
Removing the decimals = \(\frac{275 \times 64}{2500 \times 800}\)
= \(\frac{88}{10^4}\)
\(88 x 10^{-4} = 88 x 10^{1} x 10^{-4} = 8.8 x 10^{-3}\)
