convert 1.2 nanometers to micrometers.
type your numeric answer and submit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factors

1 nanometer ($nm$) = $10^{-9}$ meters and 1 micrometer ($\mu m$) = $10^{- 6}$ meters.

Step2: Set up conversion

We want to convert 1.2 $nm$ to $\mu m$. Let $x$ be the value in $\mu m$. We know that $x=\frac{1.2\times10^{-9}}{10^{-6}}$.

Step3: Simplify the expression

Using the rule of exponents $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, we have $x = 1.2\times10^{-9+6}=1.2\times10^{-3}$.

Answer:

$0.0012$
