To compare the values of \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \) and \( 0.025 \), we can convert \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \) into standard decimal form.
1. **Convert \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \):**
- The expression \( 10^{-2} \) means \( \frac{1}{10^2} \) or \( 0.01 \).
- Therefore, \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} = 2.5 \times 0.01 = 0.025 \).
2. **Now we have:**
- \( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} = 0.025 \).
Since both values are equal, we can conclude:
\[
2.5 \times 10^{-2} = 0.025
\]
Thus, there is no difference between the two values; they are equal.
