Evaluate \(\frac{0.009}{0.012}\), leaving your answer in standard form.
Answer Details
To evaluate \(\frac{0.009}{0.012}\) in standard form, we need to simplify the fraction and express the result in the form of \(a \times 10^b\), where \(1 \leq a < 10\) and \(b\) is an integer. We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 0.003: \[\frac{0.009}{0.012} = \frac{0.009 \div 0.003}{0.012 \div 0.003} = \frac{3}{4}\] Now we can express 3/4 in standard form: \[\frac{3}{4} = 0.75 = 7.5 \times 10^{-1}\] Therefore, the answer is option (C) 7.5 x 10-1.
