Question

a student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. (the ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) fill in the missing part of this equation. (88 pa·mm²)· = ? pa·m²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor between mm² and m²

We know that $1\ m = 1000\ mm$, so $1\ m^{2}=(1000\ mm)^{2}= 10^{6}\ mm^{2}$, and $1\ mm^{2}=10^{- 6}\ m^{2}$.

Step2: Determine the missing factor

To convert from $Pa\cdot mm^{2}$ to $Pa\cdot m^{2}$, we multiply by the conversion - factor for the area part. So the missing factor is $10^{-6}$.

Answer:

$10^{-6}$
