A wasps stinger has an average length of 2.67 x 10^-3 meter long. What is this length in decimal notation
The length of the wasps stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meter.
To convert the length of the wasp's stinger, which is given in scientific notation (2.67 x 10^-3), to decimal notation, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the number in scientific notation: 2.67 x 10^-3.
2. The exponent of 10 (-3) indicates that you need to move the decimal point three places to the left.
3. Move the decimal point in the value 2.67 three places to the left: 0.00267.
Therefore, the length of the wasp's stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
To convert the length of a wasps stinger from scientific notation to decimal notation, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Rewrite the number in scientific notation.
2.67 x 10^-3
Step 2: Move the decimal point in the number to the right or left to match the exponent of 10.
2.67 x 0.001
Step 3: Multiply the number by the power of 10.
2.67 x 0.001 = 0.00267
Therefore, the length of the wasp's stinger in decimal notation is 0.00267 meters.
