How do you write 1.0 × 10–5 in standard form?

Answer 1

To write \( 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \) in standard form, you need to convert it to a decimal number.

The expression \( 10^{-5} \) means you move the decimal point 5 places to the left. Starting with \( 1.0 \):

1. Move the decimal to the left 5 places:
   • 1.0 → 0.1 → 0.01 → 0.001 → 0.0001 → 0.00001

So, \( 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \) in standard decimal form is:

\[ 0.00001 \]
