Can you find the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine the dimensions are 1.25 x 10^-8. Meters wide by 2.5 x 10^-6 meters long. You scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters.

Note 1: 1 m is equal to 1000 millimeters.

1. 1.25 X10^-5 by 2.5 X 10^-3 millimeters.
2. 1.25 X 10^-6 by 2.5 X 10^-4 millimeters
3. 1.25 X 10^-11 by 2.5 X 10^-9 millimeters.
4. 1.25 X 10^-8 by 2.5 X 10^-8 millimeters.

The correct answer is option 3: 1.25 x 10^-11 by 2.5 x 10^-9 millimeters.

To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply the original dimensions by 1000 (since 1m = 1000mm).

So, the width of the sticky note would be 1.25 x 10^-8 meters * 1000 = 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters.

And the length of the sticky note would be 2.5 x 10^-6 meters * 1000 = 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters.

Therefore, the dimensions in millimeters are 1.25 x 10^-5 by 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters.
