Answer:
Explanation:
To find the full numbers, we just need to know the decimal representation of the unit prefix.
We know that milli- is one thousandth, this is
[tex]10^-3 = 0.001[/tex]
So, we can obtain the first three numbers simply by taking this multiple:
a.
[tex]177.3 \ mm = 177.3 \ 10 ^ {-3} \ m = 177.3 \times 0.001 \ m = 0.177 \ 300 \ m[/tex]
b.
[tex]26 \ mV = 26 \ 10 ^ {-3} \ V = 26 \times 0.001 \ V = 0.026 \ V[/tex]
c.
[tex]537 \ mg = 537 \ 10 ^ {-3} \ g = 537 \times 0.001 \ g = 0.537 \ g[/tex]
pico- is one trillionth, this is
[tex]10^{-12} = 0.000 \ 000 \ 000\ 001[/tex]
so
d.
[tex]36.5 \ ps = 36.5 \ 10 ^ {-12} \ s = 36.5 \times 0.000 \ 000 \ 000 \ 001 \ s = 0.000 \ 000 \ 000 \ 036 \ 500 s[/tex]
finally, nano- is one "one billionth", this is
[tex]10^{-9} = 0.000 \ 000 \ 001[/tex]
[tex]52.5 \ nm = 52.5 \ 10 ^ {-9} \ m = 52.5 \times 0.000 \ 000 \ 001 \ m = 0.000 \ 000 \ 052 \ 500 s[/tex]
