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 width from meters to millimeters, we multiply by 1,000:
1.25 × 10^-8 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 1.25 × 10^-5 millimeters
To convert the length from meters to millimeters, we multiply by 1,000:
2.5 × 10^-6 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 2.5 × 10^-3 millimeters
So the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 × 10^-5 mm wide by 2.5 × 10^-3 mm long.
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply them by 1,000 since 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters.
The width dimension of the sticky note is 1.25×10^(-8) meters. To convert this to millimeters, we multiply by 1,000:
1.25×10^(-8) meters * 1,000 = 1.25×10^(-8) * 1,000 = 1.25×10^(-5) millimeters.
The length dimension of the sticky note is 2.5×10^(-6) meters. To convert this to millimeters, we multiply by 1,000:
2.5×10^(-6) meters * 1,000 = 2.5×10^(-6) * 1,000 = 2.5×10^(-3) millimeters.
So, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25×10^(-5) mm by 2.5×10^(-3) mm.
