Question

use the following conversion rates:
1000 hertz (hz) = 1 kilohertz (khz)
1000 khz = 1 megahertz (mhz)
1000 mhz = 1 gigahertz (ghz)
how many mhz are in 59,862 hz?
round to the nearest thousandth if necessary. you do not need to include a label for the measurement. only the number will be necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert Hz to kHz

Since \(1000\) Hz \( = 1\) kHz, then \(59862\) Hz \(=\frac{59862}{1000}\) kHz \( = 59.862\) kHz.

Step2: Convert kHz to MHz

Since \(1000\) kHz \( = 1\) MHz, then \(59.862\) kHz \(=\frac{59.862}{1000}\) MHz.

$$ \frac{59.862}{1000}=0.059862 $$

Answer:

\(0.060\)
