Decimal point moved 5 places to the right, since 10⁵ has 5 zeros in it.
Step-by-step explanation:
52.48 is multiplied by 10 to the power of 5, that is 100, 000, we will get ,
[tex]52.48 \times 10^{5}=5248000.00[/tex]
When 52.48 is multiplied by 100,000, we will get 5248 followed by 5 zeros, 524800000.
Now we have to count the decimal point from left to right, so we will get 5248000.00, zeros after the decimal point has no value.
The decimal point should be moved _5__ places to the right because there are _5__ zeros in 10 to the power of 5.
