Kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine that the dimensions are 1.25x10^-8 meters wide by 2.5x10^-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 multiply by 1000 since 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters.
Width:
1.25 x 10^-8 meters x 1000 = 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters
Length:
2.5 x 10^-6 meters x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:
Width: 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters
Length: 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we can use the conversion factor of 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters.
First, let's convert the width dimension:
1.25 x 10^-8 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters
The width dimension is 1.25 x 10^-5 millimeters.
Now, let's convert the length dimension:
2.5 x 10^-6 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters
The length dimension is 2.5 x 10^-3 millimeters.
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 x 10^-5 mm wide and 2.5 x 10^-3 mm long.
To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply each dimension by a conversion factor of 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
width in millimeters = 1.25 × 10^-8 × 1,000
width in millimeters = 1.25 × 10^-8 × 10^3
width in millimeters = 1.25 × 10^-8+3
width in millimeters = 1.25 × 10^-5 millimeters
Now, let's convert the length from meters to millimeters:
length = 2.5 × 10^-6 meters
length in millimeters = (2.5 × 10^-6) × 1,000
length in millimeters = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 1,000
length in millimeters = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 10^3
length in millimeters = 2.5 × 10^-6+3
length in millimeters = 2.5 × 10^-3 millimeters
Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are approximately 1.25 × 10^-5 millimeters wide by 2.5 × 10^-3 millimeters long.
