1.2 Exercise 11

Avg difficulty 2.5

The following masses are given in kilograms. Use metric prefixes on the gram to rewrite them so the numerical value is bigger than one but less than 1000. For example, 7×10−4kg7 \times 10^{−4} \text{kg} could be written as 70 cg or 700 mg. (a) 3.8×10−5kg;3.8 \times 10^{−5} \text{kg}; (b) 2.3×1017kg;2.3 \times 10^{17} \text{kg}; (c) 2.4×10−11kg;2.4 \times 10^{−11} \text{kg}; (d) 8×1015kg;8 \times 10^{15} \text{kg}; (e) 4.2×10−3kg.4.2 \times 10^{−3} \text{kg}.
