Answer 6

Well it is silly to have 52
you always put the decimal after the first digit in scientific notation
it is not asking to convert to standard notation but this is all you do
you have 52.63x10^-3
you can still move one decimal place to the left
so rewrite this as 5.263x10^-2
it is -2 for the new exponent because you were moving left in the first place because it is negative. since i moved the decimal left for 52 to 5.2 we dont have to move it back -3 anymore
here is how you check it
lets convert it to standard and check the answers we get:
52.63x10^-3 = 0.05263
and 5.263x10^-2 = 0.05263
same answer :)
