A wasp’s stinger has an average length of  2.67×10−3  meter long. What is this length in decimal notation?(1 point)  meter

1 answer

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

Starting with \(2.67\):

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

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