Answer:
[tex]5.2 \cdot 10^{-2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to write 52 thousandths in scientific notation
thousandths is 1/1000
52 thousandths is 52 times 1/1000
[tex]52 \cdot \frac{1}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{52}{1000}[/tex]
0.052
Now to get the decimal in scientific notation , move the decimal point after the first number
[tex]5.2 \cdot 10^{-2}[/tex]
