A wasp’s stinger has an average length of 2.67×10−3

Question

meter long. What is this length in decimal notation?(1 point)
meter

Answer 1

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

Starting with \( 2.67 \):

• Move the decimal point one place to the left: \( 0.267 \)
• Move the decimal point a second place to the left: \( 0.0267 \)
• Move the decimal point a third place to the left: \( 0.00267 \)

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