Question

Write the name of the metric system prefix associated with each mathematical factor. Do not use any hyphens in your answers and do not abbreviate the prefixes. Spelling counts. 10^-6 ______________ 1/100 ______________ 0.001 _____________ 1000 ______________

Answer 1

Answer:

1. micro

2. centi

3. milli

4. kilo

Explanation:

Prefixes, in mathematical exponents, are defined as the alphabetical names associated with the mathematical factors. Some examples are as follows:

10⁶ = Mega

10⁹ = Giga

10⁻⁹ = Nano

10⁻¹² = Pico

So, in order to name the metric system prefixes associated with each of the given mathematical factor, we first convert the factor into exponent form and then write its prefix, as follows:

10⁻⁶ = micro

1/100 = 0.01 = 1 x 10⁻² = centi

0.001 = 1 x 10⁻³ = milli

1000 = 1 x 10³ = kilo
