A wasp stinger has an average length of 2.67×10 with the power of -3 m long. What is this length in decimal notation?

Answer 1

To convert \(2.67 \times 10^{-3}\) meters into decimal notation, you move the decimal point three places to the left (since the exponent is -3).

So,

1. Starting with 2.67, move the decimal point three places to the left:
   • 1st move: 0.267
   • 2nd move: 0.0267
   • 3rd move: 0.00267

Thus, \(2.67 \times 10^{-3}\) meters in decimal notation is \(0.00267\) meters.
