Question

express 6.66 x 10^(-2) hectometers in meters. round your answer to 3 significant figures. if the answer is too large or small put your answer into standard scientific notation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

1 hectometer = 100 meters.

Step2: Convert the given value

We have $6.66\times10^{- 2}$ hectometers. Multiply by 100 (or $10^{2}$) to convert to meters. So, $(6.66\times10^{-2})\times10^{2}$ meters.
Using the rule of exponents $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$, we get $6.66\times10^{-2+2}=6.66\times10^{0}=6.66$ meters.

Answer:

6.66
