265 x 10-3

in order to make 2.65 equivalent to 265 you have to multiply it by 100

you get 2.65 * 100 = 265

100 is the same as 10^2.

you get 2.65 * 10^2 = 265.

your original expression is 265 * 10^-3

replace 265 with 2.65 * 10^2 to make your original expression become:

2.65 * 10^2 * 10^-3

10^2 * 10^-3 is equal to 10^(2-3) which is equal to 10^-1

your final expression is 2.65 * 10^-1

enter 2.65 * 10^-1 in your calculator to get .265

enter 265 * 10^-3 in your calculator to get .265

2.65 * 10^-1 is equal to 265 * 10^-3.

2.65 * 10^-1 is in the standard scientific expression form.
