question
the average weight of one chicken feather is 0.163 pounds. write the number in scientific notation. be sure to use the multiplication symbol (×) in your answer.
provide your answer below:

Explanation:

Step1: Move the decimal point

Move the decimal point in \(0.163\) to the right until there is only one non - zero digit to the left of the decimal point. We move it 1 place to get \(1.63\).

Step2: Determine the exponent

Since we moved the decimal point 1 place to the right, the exponent of \(10\) is \(- 1\).

Answer:

\(1.63\times10^{-1}\)
