Answer: The answer is 1,3 x 10-7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nanometer unit is a measure of length. The prefix nano refers to 9, in this case 10 ^ -9. That is, 130 nm = 130x 10 ^ -9 m equals 1.3 x10 -7 meters.

Answer:

[tex]1.3 \times 10^{-6}m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The width of the virus is 130 nanometers.
  • A nanometer equals 0.00000001 m.

So, first we multiply the width of the virus and the nanometers

[tex]130nm\times \frac{0.00000001m}{1nm} =0.0000013m[/tex]

Now we have the width in meters, we express the number in scientific notation.

To do that, we must move the decimal point 6 spots to the right, then we express that as a power which base is 10 and its exponent 6 (the number of spots we moved)

[tex]1.3 \times 10^{-6}m[/tex]

Therefore, the scientific notation is [tex]1.3 \times 10^{-6}m[/tex]
