(a)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
286.6 mm
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value 0f 286.6 mm is converted to meter.
Calculation:
The value is divided by
Conclusion:
(b)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
85 µV
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value of
(c)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
760 mg
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value of760 mgis in mg, it is converted to the gram.
Solution:
To do so the value is divided by
Here the decimal is moved one place to the right such that it is right to the leftmost non-zero number.
Conclusion:
(d)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value of
(e)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
22.5 nm
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Since the value is in nm (nanometre), it is converted to meter. To do so the value is divided by 10-9 because
Here, the decimal is moved one place to the left such that it is right to the leftmost non-zero number.
(f)
The following as full (decimal) numbers without prefixes on the units:
2.50 gigavolts
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Since the value is in gigavolts, it is converted to Volts. To do so the value is multiplied by
