When you calculate how many metres are in a certain number of kilometres, you multiply - thus moving the decimal point to the right. For example:
3.8873 kilometres is equal to 3.8873 x 1000 = 3887.3 metres.
Three times. This is because there are 1000 meters in a kilometer, so converting from kilometers to meters is the same as multiplying the amount of kilometers by 1000 to get meters.
The decimal point moves three places to the RIGHT.
The decimal is moved towards right side. Since no. need to be multiplied by 1000 to convert km to m.
3 places to the right
3 places to the right
(3,500 kilometers) x (1,000 meters per kilometer) x (100 centimeters per meter) / (3.5 centimeters per year) =100,000,000 (one hundred million) years
I don't know tell me
The change in distance divided by change in time. So say it moved 10 meters in 5 seconds, it would be 2 meters per second.
The easiest way to convert is using scientific notation. For example, 0.025A is equal to 2.5 * 10^-2. Since 1 MA is equal to 1 * 10^6 and you're converting up, subtract the larger notation and you end up with 2.5 * 10^-8. Converting from scientific notation back to decimal form means moving the decimal point over the same number of times as the power of 10, so you'd have .25 preceded by 7 zeros (we already moved it over one), or .000000025 MA. Most people prefer to use the scientific notation because its easier to work with once you learn the rules of powers, and there is more room for error when you are counting zeros.
Work is defined as (force) times (distance). If the force is not zero, and the distance it moved through is not zero, then work was done. In other words, if you applied a force, and kept it going while the place you applied the force moved, then work was done. In this case, work = (60) x (0.5) = 30 newton-meters = 30 joules of work.
the decimal is moved to right three times.
move to the left
Factor 1000!
Use... Kilo Hecta Deka Base (grams, liters, meters) Deci Centi Milli When you are converting you start at which ever unit you are converting from and then find what unit you are converting to. Count how many spaces between that starting from the unit you are converting from. If you moved left, move the decimal in your number left how many times you moved. Do the same if you moved right. It's kind if confusing
In converting numbers into scientific notation, first you should move the decimal point such that there would be one significant figure to the left of the decimal point. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 Then, count the number of times you moved the decimal point. Note the direction of movement. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 (8 digits to the left) 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 (11 digits to the right) Lastly, express the number as a product of the modulus (the number with the decimal point moved) and a power of ten. Examples: 299792458 -> 2.99792458 x 108 (If the decimal point was moved to the left, the power is positive) 0.0000000000667428 -> 6.67428 x 10-11 (If the decimal point was moved to the right, the power is negative)
Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, you must divide 12 by 100. This gives you 12/100, which can be reduced to 3/25, or 0.12 in decimal form. Whenever you are converting in metric units, you only have to move the decimal based on the different measurements. In this case, a meter is 100 centimeters, so the decimal is moved two places over. Which direction you move it depends on which way you are converting. Converting from a smaller size to a bigger one requires you to move the decimal to the left, and converting from a larger size to a smaller one requires you to move the decimal to the right, adding zeroes as necessary.
A centimeter is a one hundredth of a meter. To easily convert centimeters to meters simply move the decimal to the left two times.
The answer will depend on the direction in which the decimal point is moved!
A percent is simply a decimal number with the decimal point moved two places to the left.A percent is simply a decimal number with the decimal point moved two places to the left.A percent is simply a decimal number with the decimal point moved two places to the left.A percent is simply a decimal number with the decimal point moved two places to the left.
78 millimeters = 0.078 meters. (we have moved the decimal three places to the right) 1 millimeter equals 1/1000 meter. So 78 millimeters is 78/1000 or 0.078 meters.
When you multiply or divide a number by 10, the decimal place is moved to the right or the left. Ie. 2.0 x 10 = 20.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the right for multiplication). Ie. 20.0 / 10 = 2.0 ( The decimal point was moved to the left for division).
It should be moved 4 places.
