I need an answer to this question.Express the product of 0•006 and 0•0009 in the standard form.
product is : 5.4x10^-7
in standard form: 0.00000054
To express the product of 0.006 and 0.0009 in standard form, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply the two numbers as you normally would, ignoring the decimal places:
0.006 x 0.0009 = 0.0000054
2. Count the number of decimal places in both original numbers. In this case, 0.006 has three decimal places, and 0.0009 has four decimal places.
3. Add the number of decimal places from both numbers together. In this case, 3 + 4 = 7.
4. Move the decimal point in the result by the number of decimal places obtained in step 3. Moving the decimal point to the right will give a positive power of 10 exponent. Therefore, the decimal point must be moved 7 places to the right.
5. The product of 0.006 and 0.0009 expressed in standard form is 5.4 x 10^-6.
So, the answer is 5.4 x 10^-6.
