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^−6 meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters.
Note: 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters.
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply by 1,000.
Width: 1.25 × 10^(-8) meters * 1,000 millimeters/1 meter = 1.25 × 10^(-8) × 1,000 = 1.25 × 10^(-8+3) = 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters
Length: 2.5 × 10^(-6) meters * 1,000 millimeters/1 meter = 2.5 × 10^(-6) × 1,000 = 2.5 × 10^(-6+3) = 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters wide by 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters long.
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply the given dimensions by 1,000.
First, let's convert the width from meters to millimeters:
Width = 1.25 × 10^(-8) meters
Width in millimeters = (1.25 × 10^(-8)) × 1,000
= 1.25 × (10^(-8)) × (1,000)
= 1.25 × 10^(-8+3)
= 1.25 × 10^(-5)
= 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters (in scientific notation)
Next, let's convert the length from meters to millimeters:
Length = 2.5 × 10^(-6) meters
Length in millimeters = (2.5 × 10^(-6)) × 1,000
= 2.5 × (10^(-6)) × (1,000)
= 2.5 × 10^(-6+3)
= 2.5 × 10^(-3)
= 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters (in scientific notation)
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are approximately 1.25 × 10^(-5) mm (width) and 2.5 × 10^(-3) mm (length).
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply each dimension by the conversion factor of 1,000.
First, let's convert the width:
1.25 × 10^(-8) meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter
To multiply numbers written in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
1.25 * 10^(-8) * 1,000 = 1.25 * 10^(-8 + 3) = 1.25 * 10^(-5)
So, the width in millimeters is 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters.
Now, let's convert the length:
2.5 × 10^(-6) meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter
Again, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
2.5 * 10^(-6) * 1,000 = 2.5 * 10^(-6 + 3) = 2.5 * 10^(-3)
Therefore, the length in millimeters is 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters.
In summary, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters wide and 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters long.
