The CORRECT scientific notation for 100.00 is
Correct answer: D. 1.00 x 10^3
- A. 1.00 x 10^-3
- B. 1.00 x 10^-2
- C. 1.00 x 10^2
- D. 1.00 x 10^3
Explanation
The correct scientific notation for 100.00 is1.00 × 103because scientific notation requires expressing a number as a product of a coefficient (between 1 and 10) and a power of ten. Here, 1.00 is the coefficient, and the power of ten indicates how many places the decimal must move to recreate the original number. Moving the decimal three places to the right from 1.00 results in 100.00. Option A and B represent much smaller numbers (0.001 and 0.01, respectively), and Option C represents 100, not 100.00, thus not accurately reflecting the decimal precision.
