Simplify and express in standard form \(\frac{0.00275 \times 0.0064}{0.025 \times 0.08}\)
8.8 x 10-1
8.8 x 10-2
8.8 x 10-3
8.8 x 103

Explanation

\(\frac{0.00275 \times 0.0064}{0.025 \times 0.08}\)

Removing the decimals = \(\frac{275 \times 64}{2500 \times 800}\)

= \(\frac{88}{10^4}\)

\(88 x 10^{-4} = 88 x 10^{1} x 10^{-4} = 8.8 x 10^{-3}\)
