To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we write each dimension in scientific notation and multiply it by 1000 (since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters).
The width: 1.25 * 10^-8 meters * 1000 = 1.25 * 10^-5 millimeters
The length: 2.5 * 10^0 meters * 1000 = 2.5 * 10^3 millimeters
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 * 10^-5 mm wide by 2.5 * 10^3 mm long.
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.
