Question

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.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To convert the width from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply it by 1,000:

1.25 × 10^(-8) meters * 1,000 = 1.25 × 10^(-8) * 1,000 = 1.25 × 10^(-8) * 10^3 = 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters

To convert the length from meters to millimeters, we also need to multiply it by 1,000:

2.5 × 10^(-6) meters * 1,000 = 2.5 × 10^(-6) * 1,000 = 2.5 × 10^(-6) * 10^3 = 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters

Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 × 10^(-5) millimeters by 2.5 × 10^(-3) millimeters.
