Question

Daniel needed 5.0 x 10 3mm of copper wire for his senior year science project. When Daniel went to the hardware store, he noticed that the unit of measure used for the wire was meters. Calculate the length, in meters, of copper wire Daniel needed for his project.

Answer 1

if its 5X 10^3 mm=5m and if its 5X 10^-3 mm=5X 10^-6m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

1m= 1000mm

as given 5X 10^3 mm we have to convert to meter

now 5X 10^3 mm= 5X 10^3/1000=5m

but if its 5X 10^-3 mm= 5X 10^-3/1000= 5X 10^-6m
