Question

Metric preferred to write 5.8 * 10 to -3 g

Answer 1

Since the number is 5.8*10^-3 g, the negative symbol in front of the power of 3 means that there are 3 0's in front of the real number, in standard notation, therefore we will add these 3 zeros to the number

0.0058 grams, and if we multiply it by 1000 we will end up with 5.8 mg, letter C
