Answer 2

The correct option is A. 0.00003704

Explanation:

Consider the provided number.

If the exponent of 10 is a positive number then you need to move the decimal point right as much as the exponent value.

If the exponent of 10 is a negative number then you need to move the decimal point left as much as the exponent value.

Now consider the provided number.

`3.704 * 10^(-5)`

Here the power of 10 is negative so move the decimal point left as shown.

`0.00003704`

Hence, the correct option is A. 0.00003704
