Answer:
2.5 * 10^-5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientists know that the diameter of a normal cell is 0.000025 cm. How is that number written in scientific notation? please help
Given that:
Diameter of a Normal cell = 0.000025 cm
In standard form:
Count the spaces in between each digit from right to left until the point where the decimal point is located.
The number of spaces in between each digit = 6
Since the spaces are counted backwards, the power notation takes a negative (-) sign.
0.000025 is thus rewritten as :
0.000025 = 25 * 10^-6
To place a decimal point in between 25 and rewrite as 2.5,
We the write as :
2.5 * 10^-5 cm
