A wasp's stinger has an average length of 2.67 × 10-3 meter long. What is this

Question

length in decimal notation?

Answer 1

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

Starting with \(2.67\):

1. Move the decimal point one place to the left: \(0.267\)
2. Move it a second place to the left: \(0.0267\)
3. Move it a third place to the left: \(0.00267\)

Therefore, the length of the wasp's stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
