$2.5times10^-2$

To write a number in scientific notation, we can write as follows:

$atimes10^n$ , where $0< a<10$ and n is an integer.

In this question, the most probable value of $a$ would be $2.5$ .

$2.5=0.025times100$

Therefore,
$0.025$

$=0.025times100divide100$

$=2.5divide100$

$=2.5times10^-2$

Note: $1/10^n=10^-n$
