<PRE><B>Question 875482</B>
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.
