Question

Express 5.8 micrometer in decimeters

Answer 1

To convert micrometers to decimeters, you can use the following conversions:

1 micrometer (μm) = \(1 \times 10^{-6}\) meters (m)
1 decimeter (dm) = \(0.1\) meters (m)

Now, to convert micrometers to decimeters:

1 micrometer = \(1 \times 10^{-6}\) m
So, 5.8 micrometers = \(5.8 \times 10^{-6}\) m

Now, to convert meters to decimeters:

\(5.8 \times 10^{-6}\) m = \(\frac{5.8 \times 10^{-6}}{0.1}\) dm
\(= 5.8 \times 10^{-5}\) dm

Therefore, \(5.8\) micrometers is equal to \(5.8 \times 10^{-5}\) decimeters.
