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 2.5 × 10^(-6) meters long. Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters
Note: 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters
(1 point)
O 1.25 × 10^(-5) by 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters
O 1.25 × 10^(-6) by 2.5 × 10^(-4) millimeters
O 1.25 × 10^(-11) by 2.5 x 10^(-9) millimeters
O 1.25 x 10^(-10 by 2.5 x 10^(-8) millimeters
The correct answer is O 1.25 × 10^(-5) by 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters.
To convert meters to millimeters, we need to multiply by 1,000.
For the width:
1.25 × 10^(-8) meters * 1,000 = 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters
For the length:
2.5 × 10^(-6) meters * 1,000 = 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters
