Answer 2

Answer:
`\text{77 mm}=7.7*10^2\text{ meters}`

Explanation:

Given : The length of a sticky note measures 77 millimeters.

We know that 1 meters =100 cm

and 1 cm = 10 mm

Then ,
`1\text{ meters}=10*100\text{ mm}=1000\text{ mm}`

`\Rightarrow\ \text{1 mm}=(1)/(1000)\text{ meters}`

Now, the length of a sticky note will be :-

`\text{77 mm}=(77)/(1000)\text{ meters}\\\\=0.077\text{ meters}\\\\= 7.7*10^2\text{ meters}`
