If 0.003^5 is represented in its shortest possible decimal form, how many 0’s to the right of the decimal point does it contain?
Choose the correct option: A) 9 B) 10 C) 11 D) 12 E) 13
0.003^5= (3*10^-3)^5 = 243*10^-15 = 0.243*10^-12 which would have 12 zeros to the right of the decimal point. The answer is 12.
