Given:
0.2
Write in whole number.
Solution:
In order to write the decimal point in whole number, a quick way to do it is by converting to scientific notation. In converting to scientific notation, we count the number of non zeros and zeros excluding the last number, but in our case, we do not have any other values except for .2, therefore the degree for the scientific notation is -1, we've used negative since it is a decimal.
0.2 = 2 x 10^-1
Final answer: 2 x 10^-1
