QuestionConvert $6.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mm}$ (diameter of a blood capillary) to centimeters.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The diameter of the blood capillary is $6.0 \times10^{-3}$ mm. We need to convert this measurement to centimeters3. The conversion factor from millimeters to centimeters is1 cm =10 mm

STEP 2

First, we need to set up the conversion from millimeters to centimeters. We can do this by multiplying the given diameter by the conversion factor.
$iameter_{cm} = Diameter_{mm} \times Conversion\, factor$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the diameter and the conversion factor to calculate the diameter in centimeters.
$iameter_{cm} =6.0 \times10^{-3} \times \frac{1}{10}$

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication to calculate the diameter in centimeters.
$iameter_{cm} =6.0 \times10^{-3} \times \frac{1}{10} =6.0 \times10^{-4} \, cm$ The diameter of a typical blood capillary is $6.0 \times10^{-4}$ cm.
