Kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine that the dimensions are 1.25x10^-8 meters wide by 2.5x10^-6 meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters. Note: 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters.

Answer 1

To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we multiply by 1000 since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters.

Width:
1.25 x 10^-8 meters x 1000 = 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters

Length:
2.5 x 10^-6 meters x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters

Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:

Width: 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters
Length: 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters
