Question

I'm just learning about using scientific notation to express base units. Can someone please walk me through this problem?
114 Pg

Answer 1

Hello @Alyssa8 !

What's ur question ?

Answer 2

Hello. I'm not entirely familiar with how to convert 114 Pg into scientific notation,

Answer 3

@Abhisar

Answer 4

well what is 114 Pg ?

Answer 5

is it Picograms?

Answer 6

oh i see...!

Answer 7

So, 114 Pg = 114 \(\sf \times 10^{-12}g\)

Answer 8

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have to convert it into grams using scientific notation. I'm just unsure of the process in which I get the answer.

Answer 9

How did you get that answer, if I may ask?

Answer 10

Now let's convert it into scientific notations,

\(\sf 114 \times 10^{-12}=1.14 \times 10^2 \times 10^{-12}=1.14 \times 10^{-10}g\)

Answer 11

The correct scientific notation is \(\sf 1.14\times 10^{-10}g\)

Answer 12

Is the 10^-12 normal for units measure in picos?

Answer 13

yes, 1Pg=\(\sf 10^{-12}g\)

Answer 14

Okay, thank you. that makes much more sense.

Answer 15

\(\rlap{\color{blue}{\huge\bigstar}\huge \color{blue}{ \text{You're Most Welcome! }}\color{blue}\bigstar}{\; \color{aqua}{\huge\bigstar}\huge \color{aqua}{\text{You're Most Welcome! }}\color{aqua}\bigstar}\)

Answer 16

if its a capital P it means peta- i.e. x10^15

if its a lowercase p it means picto- i.e. x10^-12

Answer 17

so your answers off by a factor of 10^27

Answer 18

method is right though.
