Answer
The statement makes sense.
Work Step by Step
$2000.002 = (2 \times 10^{3}) + (2 \times 10^{-3})$
Evaluate $(2 \times 10^{3})$.
Since the exponent of $10$ is positive, then the decimal point in $2$ will move $3$ places to the right.
Thus,
$$(2 \times 10^{3})=2000$$
Evaluate $(2 \times 10^{-3})$
Since the exponent of $10$ is negative, then the decimal point in $2$ will move $3$ places to the left.
Thus,
$$(2 \times 10^{-3}) = 0.002$$
Add the simplified terms.
$$2000 +0.002 = 2000.002$$
Therefore, the statement makes sense.
