The size of a certain cell is 2.5 × 10-9 m. Another cell is 1.5 × 103 times larger. How large is the larger cell in scientific notation?
(1 point)
4 x 10-27m
4 x 10-12m
3.75 x 105m
3.75 x 10m
To find the size of the larger cell in scientific notation, we multiply the size of the smaller cell by 1.5 x 10^3.
2.5 x 10^-9 m * 1.5 x 10^3 = 3.75 x 10^-6 m
Therefore, the larger cell is 3.75 x 10^-6 m in scientific notation.
