Answer:
3.937 x 10⁻⁸ inches
Explanation:
Data Given:
Atomic radium in pm (picometer) = 1.00 x 10² pm
Atomic radium in inches = ?
1 pm = 10⁻¹² m
Solution:
First convert picometer to meter
As we Know
1 pm = 10⁻¹² m
then
1.00 x 10² pm = X meter
Do cross multiplication
X meter = (1.00 x 10² pm)(10⁻¹² m) / 1 pm
X meter = 1 x 10⁻⁹ m
So, 1.00 x 10² pm equal to 1 x 10⁻⁹ m
Now convert meter to inches
As
1 m = 39.37 inches
1 x 10⁻⁹ m = X inches
Do cross multiplication
X inches = (39.3701 inches)(1 x 10⁻⁹ m ) / 1 m
X inches = 3.937 x 10⁻⁸ inches
So,
1.00 x 10² pm = 3.937 x 10⁻⁸ inches
so the radius is 3.937 x 10⁻⁸ inches
