General Instruction: Solve the following measurement problems involving conversion of units. Write your answer which is in standard notation into scientific notation and apply the rules in significant figures in expressing it into scientific notation. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper including your solution. 4. The Spirochetes, contain very thin bacteria with some species having cell diameters ofabout 0.15µm.What is its diameter in nanometers?5. A government owned land will be set converted as a new wildlife refuge. Its dimensionsare 5 x 10°meters by 4 x 10* meters. Find the area of the land in square meters.

Solution: 4. Convert the cell diameters from 0.15μm to nanometers (nm). 0.15μm=0.15×10-6m 1…
