Consider a dust mite that measures 10^-3 millimeters in length and a gecko that measures 10 centimeters long. How many orders of magnitude as long as the mite is the gecko?

Respuesta :

The order of magnitude as long as the mite is to the gecko is 9.9999

What is Measurement?

A measurement unit is a standard quantity used to express a physical quantity.

The dust mite measures 10⁻³ millimetres in length.

The wall gecko measures 10 centimetres in length.

The orders of magnitude as long as the mite is the gecko is as follows;

1 mm = 0.1 cm

10⁻³ mm (0.001 mm)= ?

length(cm) = 0.0001 / 1 = 0.0001 cm

length of mite = 0.0001 cm

The order of magnitude as long as the mite is to the gecko is 10  - 0.0001  = 9.9999
