To multiply (0.02) by (5 times 10^0), first, multiply the coefficients (the numbers before the exponent):
[
0.02 times 5 = 0.1
]
Next, combine that with the exponent. Since (10^0) is 1, we have:
[
0.1 times 10^0 = 0.1
]
Now, to express (0.1) in scientific notation, it becomes:
[
1 times 10^{-1}
]
So the answer is:
1 × 10⁻¹
This matches the third option. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
