Question

Use the SI prefixes in Table 3 of this chapter to convert these hypothetical units of measure into appropriate quantities: a. 10 rations b. 2000 mockingbirds c. 10−6 phones d. 10−9 goats e. 1018 miners

Answer 1

a. 10 rations = 1 deca-ration.

b. 2000 mockingbirds = 2 x 10³ = 2 kilo-mockingbirds.

c. 10⁻⁵ phones = 1 micro-phones.

d. 10⁻⁹ goats = 1 nano-goats.

e. 1018 miners = 1.018 x 10³ = 1.018 kilo-miners.
