Answer:
[tex]2.17 \times 10^{-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](7 \times 10 ^{-6}) + 0.26 - (5 \times 10^{-2}) = \frac{7}{10^3} + \frac{26}{10^2}-\frac{5}{10^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{7 + (26 \times 10) - ( 5 \times 10)}{10^3}\\\\=\frac{7 + 260 - 50 }{10^3}\\\\=\frac{217}{10^3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^2 \times 10^{-3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^{-1}[/tex]
