Express 10^−7 goats in nanogoats

OpenStudy (shane_b):

0.000000001 (1 nano) 0.000001000 (10^-7) Therefore, 10^-7 goats would be 1000 nano goats.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you're one zero extra @Shane_B ....

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

1 goat = 1, 000, 000, 000 so 10^-7 would be 1,000,000,000 x 10^-7 or simply erase 7 zeroes... \[\implies 1, 00\cancel 0, \cancel 0 \cancel 0 \cancel 0, \cancel 0 \cancel 0 \cancel 0\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

btw @Shane_B ...you do know \[1 \times 10^{-7} = 10^{-7}\]right? identity property of multiplication....

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Yea...I totally goofed that. However....I still don't see the mistake in my original post: 10^-7 = 0.000001000 10^-9 = 0.000000001

OpenStudy (shane_b):

OH WAIT...Yes, you're right :P

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

0.000001000 <---10^-6

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I see it now...I'm retarded :P

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

haha lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

a wise user once told me "get back to the math section" lol :p

OpenStudy (shane_b):

hah...a very wise one :)

OpenStudy (shane_b):

If you were only in the math section right now...you would not have seen this mistake and all would still be right in my world :P

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[x=10^{−7} [\text{goats}]\]\[x\times10^{-2}=10^{-7} [\text{goats}]\times10^{-2}\]\[x\times10^{-2}=10^{-9}[\text{goats}]\]\[x\times10^{-2}=[\text{nanogoats}]\]\[x=10^2[\text{nanogoats}]\]\[x=100[\text{nanogoats}]\]
