Answer: The weight of a poppy seed in kilograms $= 2.88\times 10^{-7}$ kilogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A sesame seed weighs $3.6\times10^{-6}$ kilograms.

The weight of a poppy seed is 8% of the weight of a sesame seed.

Weight of a poppy seed = 8% of ( weight of a sesame seed)

= $0.08\times 3.6\times10^{-6}$ kilogram

$= 0.288\times 10^{-6}$ kilogram

$= 2.88\times 10^{-7}$ kilogram.

Hence, the weight of a poppy seed in kilograms $= 2.88\times 10^{-7}$ kilogram.
