Question

The diameter of a wire on a computer chip is 0.000005 cm, (Express the information in the standard form)

Answer 1

Answer:

The standard form is $5 \times 10^{-6} cm$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question we have been provided the diameter of a wire on a computer chip is 0.000005 cm.

According to the question we have to express the value of diameter of a wire = 0.000005 cm in its standard form.

As,

0.000005 can be written as $\frac{5}{1000000}$

Therefore,

$0.000005 =5 \times 10^{-6}$

Hence, the standard form is $5 \times 10^{-6} cm$ .
