Question

complete each row of the table below by filling in the missing prefix or missing exponent.
1 s = 10^{-9} s
1 μs = 10 s
1 cs = 10 s
1 s = 10^{3} s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall prefixes and exponents

The prefix "nano" ($n$) corresponds to $10^{-9}$. So for $1\ \text{[ ]}s = 10^{-9}s$, the prefix is $n$ (nano).

Step2: For micro ($\mu$)

We know that $1\ \mu s=\frac{1}{10^{6}}s = 10^{-6}s$.

Step3: For centi ($c$)

Since $1\ cs=\frac{1}{10^{2}}s=10^{-2}s$.

Step4: For $10^{3}$

The prefix for $10^{3}$ is "kilo" ($k$). So $1\ ks = 10^{3}s$.

Answer:

$1\ \mu s$	$10^{-6}s$
$1\ cs$	$10^{-2}s$
$1\ ks$	$10^{3}s$
