$write $2.688 \\times 10^1$ as a decimal.$

Question

write $2.688 \times 10^1$ as a decimal.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation to decimal conversion

To convert a number in scientific notation $a\times10^{n}$ to decimal, if $n>0$, we move the decimal point $n$ places to the right. Here, $a = 2.688$ and $n=1$.

Step2: Move the decimal point

Moving the decimal point in $2.688$ one place to the right (since $n = 1$) gives $26.88$.

Answer:

$26.88$
