El diámetro de una bacteria de tamaño intermedio es de unos 0,003 mm, pero los

virus son todavía más pequeños; por ejemplo, el de la poliomielitis mide 0,000 015mm

de diámetro. Determina la diferencia, en milímetros, entre el diámetro del virus de la

polio y el de una bacteria común. Expresa en notación científica.​

Answer The value of the difference in millimeters between the diameter of the virus of polio and a common bacterium, expressed in scientific notation is: 2.985 * 10.03 mm.

The difference , in millimeters , between the diameter of the polio virus and that of a common bacterium is calculated by subtracting the two diameter values ​​from the largest minus the smallest as follows:

Intermediate diameter of a common bacteria = 0.003 mm

Poliomyelitis virus diameter = 0.000015 mm

Difference =? mm in scientific notation

Difference = 0.003 mm - 0.000015 mm = 0.002985 mm

At the express the result in scientific notation is:

0.002985 mm = 2.985 * 10-3 mm.
