Question

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this to square meters.

Answer 1

\[1\ m ^{2}=(10^{6})^{2}\mu m ^{2}=10^{12}\mu m ^{2}\]
\[1\ \mu m ^{2}=10^{-12}m ^{2}\]
Can you complete it now?

Answer 2

1.50 mu m2 = 10 -6
