Question

kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine that the dimensions are 1.25×10−8 meters wide by 2.5×10−6 meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters. whats the answer

Answer 1

To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to move the decimal point three places to the right.

Width: 1.25 × 10^(-8) meters = 1.25 × 10^(-8) × 1000 millimeters = 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters

Length: 2.5 × 10^(-6) meters = 2.5 × 10^(-6) × 1000 millimeters = 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters

Therefore, the dimensions in millimeters are 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters wide by 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters long.
