Question

Represent 8953 ms with Sl units having an appropriate prefix Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units. PÅ ROS? 8953 ms = 8.953 . 10 ms

Answer 1

8.953 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here a time of 8953 ms is given.

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

mili = 10⁻³

micro = 10⁻⁶

nano = 10⁻⁹

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Each prefix increases or decreases by a factor of 10³

The number is 8953.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is mili. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase.

`1 milisecond = 1000 second`

`1\ second=(1)/(1000)\ milisecond`

`\\\Rightarrow 8953\ milisecond=(8953)/(1000)\ second\\ =8.953\ second`

So, 8953 ms = 8.953 s
