Given the value:

0.326

Write the value in two forms.

Solution:

The given value can be written in scientific notation and as a fraction. To change to scientific notation, simply treat the decimal as a whole then divide it by its place value which is 1000. To change the the decimal to scientific notation, we simply raised the value by -1, and equate the last two decimals as a decimal again.

= 326/1000

Factor our 2, to simplify 

= 163/500

= 3.26 x 10^-1

Final answer:

= 163/500

= 3.26 x 10^-1
