Answer 1

The answer is B) 5.304 × 10 to the power of -6

Answer 2

Answer: B) 5.304 x 10−6

Explanation:

We have the number 0.000005304, now we can see that we have 5 zeros after the decimal point, in this case, we can write the number as the first digits different than zero (this will be the number before the decimal point, usually you only want one), multiplicated by 10 at the power of -(n + 1) where n is the number of zeros after the decimal point, so the correct way of writing it is:

5.305x10^-6

The correct option is B
