Question

5.93 cubic centimetres to cubic metres ( Use Scientific notation)

Answer 1

1 m = 100 cm

1m^3 = 1000000 cm^3

Answer 2

So first, can you convert 5.93 cubic centimeters to cubic meters?

Answer 3

i dont think there gonna answer

Answer 4

How do I do that @AZ

Answer 5

Just divide by 1,000,000

5.93 cm^3 * (1 m^3 /1,000,000 cm^3) = ?? m^3

Answer 6

so 0.00000593

Answer 7

Yes so we have

Answer 8

How many times do we move it to the right?

Answer 9

That's going to be the number on our exponent for 5.93 * 10^(that number)

Answer 10

Also, it's going to be a negative number because we're moving it to the right

Answer 11

6 times?

Answer 12

yes

if we were moving 6 times the other way then it would just be 10^6

but since we're moving 6 times towards the right, it's 10^(-6)

And to make sense of it- just think about it.

When we have 10^6. We know it's going to be a really big number
10^(-6) means we have a really small number

Answer 13

ok so would the whole number be 5.93 because thats where it was moved 2

Answer 14

Also, we didn't exactly have to do all this math. Remember what we started out with?

\( 5.93 \text{cm}^3 \times \dfrac{1 \text{m}^3}{1,000,000 \text{cm}^3} = ??~ \text{m}^3\)

what is another way to write 1,000,000?

It's 10^6!

and \(10^6\) is the same thing as \( 10^{-6}\) because

\(\dfrac{1}{a^b} = a^{-b}\)

Answer 15

Yes!

Answer 16

So your final answer is \(5.93 \times 10^{-6}\)
