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 ^ 0 meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters.
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we write each dimension in scientific notation and multiply it by 1000 (since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters).
The width: 1.25 * 10^-8 meters * 1000 = 1.25 * 10^-5 millimeters
The length: 2.5 * 10^0 meters * 1000 = 2.5 * 10^3 millimeters
Therefore, 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 each dimension by a factor of 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in one meter.
First, let's convert the width from meters to millimeters:
1.25 * 10^-8 meters * 1000 mm/meter
Rewriting 1000 as 10^3:
1.25 * 10^-8 meters * (10^3 mm/meter)
Applying the rule of exponents, we can multiply the exponents:
1.25 * (10^-8 * 10^3) meters
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:
1.25 * 10^-5 meters
Now let's convert the length from meters to millimeters:
2.5 * 10^0 meters * 1000 mm/meter
Again, rewriting 1000 as 10^3:
2.5 * 10^0 meters * (10^3 mm/meter)
Applying the rule of exponents:
2.5 * (10^0 * 10^3) meters
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:
2.5 * 10^3 meters
Therefore, the dimensions 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 remember that there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter.
First, let's convert the width from meters to millimeters:
1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
So, to convert the width (1.25 * 10^(-8)) meters to millimeters, we multiply it by 1,000:
1.25 * 10^(-8) * 1,000 = 1.25 * 10^(-8 + 3) = 1.25 * 10^(-5) millimeters
Next, let's convert the length from meters to millimeters:
2.5 meters = 2.5 * 1,000 millimeters = 2,500 millimeters
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:
Width: 1.25 * 10^(-5) millimeters
Length: 2,500 millimeters
