could someone help me write this in scientific notation?

Question

The number 0.17×10^2 is not in scientific notation because 0.17 is less than 1. Write 0.17×10^2 in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To put 0.17 × 10^2 into scientific notation, the decimal must be multiplied by ten to make it 1.7. 

 

To compensate, the power of ten listed later must be reduced by 1. 

 

Final answer is 1.7 × 10^1
