A wasp’s stinger has an average length of 2.67×10−3 meter long. What is this length in decimal notation?
This length in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
To express the length 2.67 x 10^-3 meter in decimal notation, we can simply move the decimal point to the left by 3 places:
2.67 x 10^-3 meter = 0.00267 meter
To convert 2.67×10^(-3) meter to decimal notation, we need to move the decimal point to the left or right, depending on the exponent.
In scientific notation, 10^(-3) means that we need to move the decimal point three places to the left. Therefore, we have:
2.67 × 10^(-3) = 0.00267
So, the length of a wasp's stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
