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

Answer 1

To convert the dimensions to millimeters, we need to multiply by a conversion factor of 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter.

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

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

Therefore, in scientific notation, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 x 10^(-5) mm wide by 2.5 x 10^(-3) mm long.
