Kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine that the dimensions are 1.25 * 10 ^ - 8

meters wide by 2.5 * 10 ^ 0 meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters.

To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter.

The width of the sticky note is 1.25 * 10^-8 meters.
Converting this to millimeters, we get:

(1.25 * 10^-8) * 1000 = 1.25 * 10^-8 * 10^3 = 1.25 * 10^-8+3 = 1.25 * 10^-5

So, the width of the sticky note in millimeters is 1.25 * 10^-5 mm.

The length of the sticky note is 2.5 * 10^0 meters.
Converting this to millimeters, we get:

(2.5 * 10^0) * 1000 = 2.5 * 10^0 * 10^3 = 2.5 * 10^0+3 = 2.5 * 10^3

So, the length of the sticky note in millimeters is 2.5 * 10^3 mm.
