8.03 x 10^-2 subtract 2.56x10^-2

Answer 1

To subtract \( 8.03 \times 10^{-2} \) and \( 2.56 \times 10^{-2} \), you can first ensure that both numbers are in the same form, which they already are.

Now, simply subtract the coefficients:

\[ 8.03 - 2.56 = 5.47 \]

So, the result is:

\[ 5.47 \times 10^{-2} \]

Thus, \( 8.03 \times 10^{-2} - 2.56 \times 10^{-2} = 5.47 \times 10^{-2} \).
