Answer 1

Ok some conversions to do first
so lets change millimeters into meters,
and $'s into dimes :D

Answer 2

6.25?

Answer 3

\[1.25mm=.00125m\]\[$50=500dimes\]\[500(.00125m)=0.625m\]

Answer 8

Complete the statement. 469.1 mg = ? g
A. 0.4691

B. 46,910

C. 469,100

D. 46.91
do you know this one?

Answer 9

hmm so a conversion similar to the last one.
Milligrams to grams, the milli prefix lets you know it is 1 thousandth of the base unit.
\[10^{-3}mg=1g\]
If that is confusing, just think of moving the decimal place 3 places.
Since you're converting from a small unit to a larger unit, you move the decimal to the left.
So what would that be? :)

Answer 10

46,910? or i think maybe 0.4691

Answer 11
