Restate the number
Answer to Problem 1.1CYU
The restate number is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass,
Calculation:
The given mass is
First, we need to remove the “kilo” from the given mass
We know that the
Therefore we have to use “Mega” prefix so that value will between 1 and 1000, the restate value is
Thus, the restate value of the number is
Conclusion:
Restating a number using metric prefix, can convert any value to be fit between 1 and 1000 which is convenient for scientific and engineering calculation.
