Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To express the result in scientific notation, we need to first simplify the calculation: 0.0446 cm² ÷ 15.1 cm = 0.002956 cm² To convert this number into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until we have a number between 1 and 10. Since the original number is less than 1, we need to move the decimal point three places to the right: 0.002956 cm² = 2.956 x 10^-3 cm² The correct answer is therefore (D), 11ea8937_ab4f_2a37_a16d_631630df5d87_TB4499_11, which represents the number 2.956 x 10^-3 in scientific notation.
