Answer #1

a) 1 um = 10^-6 m

2.6 km = 2600 m =

1 m = 10^6 um

= 2600*10^6 = 2.6*10^9 um

b) 1 cm = 10^-2 m

2.6 um = 2.6*10^-6 m

= 2.6*10^-6 *10^2 = 2.6*10^-4 cm

(C) 1 yd = 0.9144 m

2.6 yd = 2*0.9144 = 2.37744 m

= 2.37744*10^6 um

    If you are converting between different units of measurements, first decide whether you are converting from large rightarrow small or small rightarrow large: remember, large rightarrow small - right (LSR) and small rightarrow large - left (SLL). Then use the conversion chart to figure out how many spaces you wil be moving the decimal. For example if you are converting 2 cm to ___ nm, the LSR (large rightarrow small - right) rule, and then use the conversion chart to...
