Multiply. Write your answer in scientific notation. 0.02 · (5 × 10⁰) Answer options: 0.1 × 10⁰ 2 × 10⁻² 1 × 10⁻¹ 1 × 10⁰

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!
