I think you meant 10^-2 so the answer would be B. 0.051
hope this helped you hon:)
Answer:
Option B. 0.051
Step-by-step explanation:
The given number 5.1 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] has been written in scientific notation
[tex]10^{-2}[/tex] implies that division by 100 in 5.1
When we divide 5.1 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] means division by 100 in 5.1.
when we divide 5.1 by 100 decimal gets shifted by two numbers to the left.
5.1 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5.1}{100}[/tex]
= 0.051
Therefore, Option B. 0.051 is the answer.
