Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1. 50μm2. Convert this to square meters.

Respuesta :

Converting 1. 50μm²  to square meters gives 1. 5 × 10 ^-11

What is conversion of units?

Conversion of units is defined as the conversion of different units of measurement for the same quantity, mostly through multiplicative conversion factors.

From the information given, we are to convert micrometers to square meters

Note that:

1 micrometer ( μm²) = 10^-12m²

Given 1. 50μm² =  xm²

cross multiply

x = 1. 50 × 10^-12

x = 1. 50 × 10^-12

x = 1. 50 × 10^-12

x = 1. 5 × 10 ^-11 square meters

Thus, converting 1. 50μm²  to square meters gives 1. 5 × 10 ^-11
