To convert a decimal into scientific notation, move the decimal point until you get to the left of the first non-zero integer. The number of places the decimal point moves is the power of the exponent, because each movement represents a "power of 10".

Symbol for 1 thousandth of a meter?
laila [671]

The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures;[1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), alsocommonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling 1×10−6 of ametre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10−6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch).[1] The symbol μm is sometimes rendered as um if the symbol μ cannot be used, or if the writer is not aware of the distinction.<span>[citation needed]</span>

The micrometre is a common unit of measurement for wavelengths of infrared radiation as well as sizes of biological cells and bacteria and is also commonly used in plastics manufacturing.[1] Micrometres are the standard for grading wool by the diameter of the fibres; wool finer than 25 μm can be used for garments, while coarser grades are used for outerwear, rugs, and carpets.[2] The width of a single human hair ranges from approximately 10 to 200 μm. The first and longest human chromosome is 10μm in length.

An urn contains 8 pink and 5 red balls. Six balls arerandomly drawn from the urn in succession, with replacement.That is, after
slega [8]

0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls in the urn is;

8 +  5 = 12

Because the pink balls are 8, then the probability of picking a pink ball from the urn is;

8/12

To get the probability that all 6 balls drawn from the urn are pink, we will use the AND probability rule of the mutually exclusive events which means we’ll multiply the probabilities of each of the six pink balls;

8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12

= 0.088

You do the inverse operation for each one. so for #14, since 25g is multiplication you divide it by 25 to cancel it out, then you divide -175 by 25 which gives you -7
