Answer 1

i believe the answer is  0.016. if i am wrong please tell me if it's wrong. the second option 

Answer 2

Answer: length of wire in meters =
`1.6* 10^(-2)`

Step-by-step explanation: Given : length of copper wire = 1.6 cm

Now by metric system we know that :

centi stands for
`10^2`

Thus 1 m is equal to 100 cm

1 cm =
`10^(-2)m`

1.6 cm=
`(10^(-2))/(1)* 1.6=1.6* 10^(-2)m`

Thus length of wire in meters =
`1.6* 10^(-2)`
