Answer 2

Answer:

$4.32 \: \times \: {10}^{ - 5}$ is the correct answer for your question

The scientific notation of the decimal - 0.0000432 is $4.32 \: \times \: {10}^{ - 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

All numbers in scientific notation or standard form are written in the form m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.

★ To convert 0.0000432 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

• Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 4.32, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10
• Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -5

• Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n

= 4.32 × 10-5

Therefore, the decimal number 0.0000432 written in scientific notation is 4.32 × ${10}^{ - 5}$ and it has 3 significant figures.
