Question 45327: Hello,
I want to make sure I did this right- I have to round 0.08974 to the nearest hundreth and express my answer in scientific notation. Would the number rounded be 0.010? How do I write the answer in scientific notation- I don't really understand that form. Thank you and have a good day. S

The 8 is in the 100th place. The number to the right of 8 is 9. Since 9 is greater than 5, the 8 is rounded up.
0.08974 rounds up to 0.09
.
Move the decimal point 2 places to the right to make the decimal a whole number and the exponent becomes negative.
0.09 = 9.0 x 10^-2
