Question

9.50 x 10-1 kg converted to the basic unit (with no prefix) and expressed in standard exponential notation to the proper number of significant digits is:

Answer 1

`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=950\ g`

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg`

To find : Write expression converted to the basic unit (with no prefix) and expressed in standard exponential notation to the proper number of significant digits ?

Solution :

The basic unit of kg is to convert into gram.

We know, 1 kg=1000 g

So,
`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=9.50* 10^(-1)* 1000\ g`

`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=9.50* 10^(2)\ g`

Now, Convert standard exponential notation to the proper number of significant digits,

`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=(950)/(100)* 100\ g`

`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=950\ g`

Therefore,
`9.50* 10^(-1)\ kg=950\ g`
