1 answer

To solve this expression, we need to multiply the numbers in the numerator and divide that product by the number in the denominator.

First, multiply 3.6 and 1.5:
3.6 * 1.5 = 5.4

Next, add the exponents of 10:
5 + (-8) = -3

Finally, divide 5.4 by 2.5:
5.4 / 2.5 = 2.16

Therefore, the expression in scientific notation is 2.16 × 10^(-3).
The correct answer is c) 2.16 × 10^(-1).
