question 1 (1 point)
the metric prefix for one one - thousandth is
milli.
cendi.
kilo.
meza.
question 2 (1 point)
the number of significant figures in 0.040 is
one.
two.
three.
four.

Explanation:

• Question 1: The metric prefix "milli -" represents \(10^{- 3}\) or one - thousandth. "Centi -" is \(10^{-2}\), "kilo -" is \(10^{3}\), and "mega -" is \(10^{6}\).
• Question 2: For the number \(0.040\), leading zeros (the zeros before the non - zero digit \(4\)) are not significant. The non - zero digit \(4\) and the trailing zero (after the non - zero digit in a number with a decimal) are significant. So there are 2 significant figures.

Answer:

• Question 1: milli
• Question 2: two
