To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to move the decimal point three places to the right, since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter.
The width of the sticky note is 1.25x10^-8 meters.
Moving the decimal point three places to the right, the width in millimeters is 1.25x10^-5 millimeters.
The length of the sticky note is 2.5x10^-6 meters.
Moving the decimal point three places to the right, the length in millimeters is 2.5x10^-3 millimeters.
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25x10^-5 mm by 2.5x10^-3 mm.
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 the scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters
