Answer 2

Hey there! Thanks for the question.

Standard form of a number is used to express very large or very small numbers in a convenient way.

Standard form of a number can be defined as the short hand notation of a number in the form of x * 10^n [ where x is rational number lies between 0 and 10 , n is a integer ]



Now,

0.03711

= 3711 / 1,00,000

= 3711 * 10^-5

= 3.711 * 10³ * 10^-5

= 3.711 * 10^ 3 - 5

= 3.711 * 10 ^ -2


So, Now We have Expressed 0.03711 in the form of x * 10^n where x = 3.711 , n = -2 .

From the above options, The correct answer is Option B.
