How to convert metric system to standard using scientific notation?

∙ 14y ago
Multiply everything by (1 x 100), since the metric system is 'standard' almost everywhere in the world.
Note:
The same conversion factor is useful for converting 'ml' to 'cc', and 'cycles per second' to 'Hz'.)

What is 5800 million metric tons in scientific notation?
It is: 5.8*10^9 metric tons in scientific notation
Scientific notation for metric units?
Scientific notation is scientific notation - whether it is used for metric units, Imperial units or simply for numbers.
How can one convert data from standard measuring equipment to metric data?
One can just convert it themselves. For example 1 inch is 2.54cm, and one pound is .45kg. There are many conversion tables that can be found, both in print and online that give the full list of standard to metric conversions. Also many scientific calculators have the conversions built in so one just has to enter data and it converts it for them.
Why do scientists prefer to express numbers in exponential notation and metric units?
Because exponential or scientific notation needs less digits for very large numbers and metric units are preferred because they are in multiples of 10 thus avoiding mistaken calculations.
Does scientific notation make conversion between units easy?
In the metric (or SI) system, where units are related to one another by powers of 10, scientific notation makes conversions incredibly simple. However, if you are unfortunate enough to live in a country which still uses the Imperial system (or a variant) scientific notation is of hardly any help: converting 3.5*10^3 yards to miles is a difficult calculation.

How do you convert 7.5mm to inches?
You would use Metric to Standard conversion.
Why should the metric system be used when doing a science project?
The metric system is the international standard of the scientific community.
What are the guidelines for metric notation?
The units of the metric system are all designed to convert by powers of ten, so for example, ten millimeters is a decimeter, ten decimeters is a centimeter, ten centimeters is a meter, etc. When you have a large number of powers of ten, you can conveniently describe it by means of scientific notation, using exponents. So, a trillion meters is 1012 meters.
When should you convert metric measurements to standard US measurements?
as often as possible
How do you convert 6.2feets to merters?
Feet is a standard unit of measurement mostly used in the American culture. The metric system will convert 6.2 feet into the 1.88976 meters which is the metric unit of measure.
Convert 4mm metric to usa standard?
There is no such thing as a USA standard. 4mm is the same length as 0.16 inches, approximately.
What is the mass of a mosquito in scientific notation?
In the SI (metric) system mass is about 3 milligrams or 0.003 grams or 3 times 10 to the negative 3 power in scientific notation. In the US system mass (weight) is 0.0000066 pounds or 6.6 times 10 to the negative 6 power in scientific notation.

What is 5008km in scientific notation?
5.008*103 km although, given the metric system, one could refer to it as 5.008 megametres!
