Answer:
a. [tex]1000\ kg(\frac{1000\ g}{1\ kg}) = 1\ x\ 10^{6}\ g[/tex]
b. [tex]50\ m (\frac{100\ cm}{1\ m} ) = 5000\ cm[/tex]
c. "Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁻⁹ meter in a nm (OR) "Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁹ nm in a meter.
d. micro is 10⁻⁶, so 1kg is 10⁹ ug
Explanation:
a.
The conversion factor is written inverted. The correct statement will be:
[tex]1000\ kg(\frac{1000\ g}{1\ kg}) = 1\ x\ 10^{6}\ g[/tex]
b.
The values in the conversion factor used are wrong. The correct statement will be:
[tex]50\ m (\frac{100\ cm}{1\ m} ) = 5000\ cm[/tex]
c.
Change of units is the mistake here. The correct statement will be:
"Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁻⁹ meter in a nm (OR) "Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁹ nm in a meter.
d.
the conversion will be as follows:
[tex]1\ kg(\frac{1000\ g}{1\ kg})(\frac{1\ \mu g}{10^{-6}\ g}) = 10^9 \mu g[/tex]
therefore, the correct statement will be:
micro is 10⁻⁶, so 1kg is 10⁹ ug
