Answer

0.047 = 4.7 $\times$ $10^{-2}$

Work Step by Step

We need to write 0.047 as the product of a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 and an integer power of 10. The number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 will be 4.7 The decimal point has moved 2 places to the left, so the exponent of 10 will be -2. So, 0.047 = 4.7 $\times$ $10^{-2}$
