\begin{tabular}{l} Which of the following is equivalent to \( 3 \times 10^{-3} \) p \\ O 0.8 \\ 00.0008 \\ 00.008 \\ \hline .30 \\ \hline\end{tabular}

To find the equivalent value of \( 3 \times 10^{-3} \) p, we need to convert this scientific notation into decimal form. 1. **Understanding the notation**: The expression \( 3 \times 10^{-3} \) means that we take the number 3 and move the decimal point 3 places to the left because of the negative exponent. 2. **Performing the conversion**: - Start with 3.0. - Move the decimal point 3 places to the left: - 1st move: 0.3 - 2nd move: 0.03 - 3rd move: 0.003 Thus, \( 3 \times 10^{-3} = 0.003 \). Now, let's compare this with the options provided: - 0.8 - 0.0008 - 0.008 - 0.30 None of these options match \( 0.003 \). Therefore, the equivalent value of \( 3 \times 10^{-3} \) p is not listed among the options provided.
