Therefore, 10^(-2) can be written as 0.01 or 1/100, which aligns with the definition of the centi prefix.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    10^(-3)

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "milli" because 10^(-3) represents a decimal number that is less than 1. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix used to denote one thousandth (1/1000) of a unit. Therefore, when we have 10^(-3), it means we have a value that is one thousandth of a unit, which is equivalent to the prefix "milli".

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    10^(-6)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "micro" because 10^(-6) is a prefix in the metric system that represents one millionth of a unit. In this case, it represents one millionth of a meter. The prefix "micro" is commonly used in scientific and mathematical contexts to denote very small quantities.

    The given answer "pico" is the correct unit for the value 10^(-12). Pico is a metric prefix that denotes one trillionth of a unit. In this case, it represents one trillionth of a meter (10^(-12) meters).

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    10^(-15)

    Explanation
    The given answer "femto" is correct because 10^(-15) is equal to 0.000000000000001, which is a very small value. In the metric system, "femto" is the prefix used to represent one quadrillionth (10^(-15)). Therefore, "femto" is the appropriate unit for representing 10^(-15).

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    10^(-18)

    Explanation
    The given answer "atto" is the correct prefix for the value 10^(-18). In the metric system, "atto" represents a factor of 10^(-18), which is a very small unit of measurement. Therefore, 10^(-18) can be expressed as "atto" in scientific notation.
