a wasp's stinger has an average length of 2.67 10^-3 meter long. what is this length in decimal notation.

1 answer

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

Starting with 2.67:

  • Move the decimal one place: 0.267
  • Move the decimal two places: 0.0267
  • Move the decimal three places: 0.00267

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