Which of the following is closest to 0.0432? A 4times 10^-2 4times 10^-1 4times 10^1 4times 10^2

To determine which of the given options is closest to 0.0432, we need to compare each option with 0.0432.<br /><br />Let's evaluate each option:<br /><br />A) $4\times 10^{-2} = 0.04$<br />B) $4\times 10^{-1} = 0.4$<br />C) $4\times 10^{1} = 40$<br />D) $4\times 10^{2} = 400$<br /><br />Comparing these values with 0.0432, we can see that option A ($4\times 10^{-2} = 0.04$) is the closest to 0.0432.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
