Answer: Basically, this problem tells you to convert micrometers (μm) to millimeters (mm). The prefixes are used as hints for their values. Micrometer is 10⁻⁶ of a meter, while millimeter is 10⁻³ of a meter. If you use dimensional analysis,
(1.430×10⁻³ μm)*(10⁻⁶ m/1 μm)*(1 mm/10⁻³ m) = 1.43×10⁻⁶ mm
Explanation:
Answer:
1.430 nm
Explanation:
The average radius of a molecule of Iysozyme, an enzyme in tears, is 1430 pm.
1 meter is equal to 10¹² picometers. We can use a conversion fraction to convert 1430 picometers to meters.
1430 pm × (1 m / 10¹² pm) = 1.430 × 10⁻⁹ m
1 meter is equal to 10⁹ nanometers. We can use a conversion fraction to convert 1.430 × 10⁻⁹ meters to nanometers.
1.430 × 10⁻⁹ m × (10⁹ nm/1 m) = 1.430 nm
