D.
5.13 × 10^-6

Respuesta :

The answer is
0.000005

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is [tex](5.5\times 10^{-6})-(3.7\times 10^{-7} )[/tex]

We have to write it in the simplified form.

[tex](5.5\times 10^{-6})-(3.7\times 10^{-7} )[/tex]

= [tex](5.5\times 10^{-6})-(0.37\times 10^{-6} )[/tex]

= (5.5 - 0.37)×[tex]10^{-6}[/tex]

= 5.13×[tex]10^{-6}[/tex]

Option D will be the answer.
