The weight of a pitaya seed is 1×10-3 ounce. What is the weight of the pitaya seed in standard form

Answer 1

The weight of the pitaya seed is given as \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \) ounce, which is already in standard form.

In standard form, a number is expressed as \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

So, the weight of the pitaya seed is \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \) ounce, which means it weighs 0.001 ounces. If you need to convert it to decimal form, it would be 0.001 ounces. But as you requested, \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \) is indeed the standard form of the weight.
