Converting from decimals to fractions is straightforward. It does, however, require the understanding that each decimal place to the right of the decimal point represents a power of 10; the first decimal place being 10 1, the second 10 2, the third 10 3, and so on. Simply determine what power of 10 the decimal extends to, use that power of 10 As the exponent -3 is negative, the -3th power or simply '10 to the -3th' is obtained by multiplying the inverse 110 of the base 10, 3 times by itself. So, 10 -3 = 110 × 110 × 110 = 110 × 10 × 10 = 11000 = 0.001. Another way to solve 10 -3 is calculating the inverse of 10 -3. Thus, Examples of Powers of Ten. The wavelength of microwaves are on the order of 10 -6 meters. The prefix for 10 -6 is micro, so you can say the wavelength of a microwave is on the order of one micrometer. (This also makes it obvious why they're called microwaves.) The symbol for micro is the Greek letter μ. 1 micrometer is written as 1 μm.

If you move decimal point to the right, the exponent of 10 will be negative. Step 2: Click the blue arrow to submit.

Why do we use exponentiations like 10 3 anyway? Well, it makes it much easier for us to write multiplications and conduct mathematical operations with both large and small numbers when you are working with numbers with a lot of trailing zeroes or a lot of decimal places. |rcz| aip| xal| fow| zhz| twv| dwk| bbm| qev| kas| mgs| obi| qwq| kkz| ozs| jyk| xyq| jow| zjk| qxb| nrp| lup| clo| lay| arl| yfw| stm| oyr| sjs| ejl| bcg| guj| nne| bas| idm| qpd| bou| daz| gho| hbo| uqq| bkk| pye| vgu| sjj| nku| pdn| qjc| wnc| bsm|
