Answer:
3 x 10⁻⁹km
3 x 10⁻⁴cm
2.73 x 10⁶μm
Explanation:
A micron is a subunit of measurement usually for length dimensions.
1μm = 1 x 10⁻⁶m
a. How many microns make up 3km;
Now convert to meter first;
1000m = 1km
So, 3km will be made up of 3000m
So;
1 x 10⁻⁶m = 1μm
3000m = [tex]\frac{3000}{1 x 10^{-6} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3 x 10^{3} }{ 1 x 10^{-6} }[/tex] = 3 x 10⁻⁹km
b. How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm?
Since;
1μm = 1 x 10⁻⁶m
3μm = 3 x 1 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x 10⁻⁶m
So;
100cm = 1m;
1m = 100cm
3 x 10⁻⁶m = 3 x 10⁻⁶ x 10² = 3 x 10⁻⁴cm
c. How many microns are in 3.0 yd?
1yd = 0.91m
3yd = 3 x 0.91 = 2.73m
So;
1 x 10⁻⁶m = 1μm
2.73m will give [tex]\frac{2.73}{1 x 10^{-6} }[/tex] = 2.73 x 10⁶μm
