Awooden crate is in the shape of a rectangular prism. the area (length x width)? of the base of the crate is 254 square inches. the height of the crate is 36 inches. what is the volume, in cubic inches, of the wooden crate? (eligible content: m05.a-t.2.1.1, m05.d-m.3.1.1) (dok 2) *

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

it is impossible.
