View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
\( 2.0 \times 10^{-2} \)
Explanation
\( 2.5 \times 10^{-2} - 0.48 \times 10^{-2} = (2.5 - 0.48) \times 10^{-2} = 2.02 \times 10^{-2} \). Since \( 2.5 \) has one decimal place, the result must be rounded to one decimal place, giving \( 2.0 \times 10^{-2} \).
