Question

· write a 1 in front of the larger unit
· determine the power of 10 for each prefix
· subtract the small power of 10 from the large power of 10
1 x 10 6 -(-2 ) = 8
· write the power of 10 calculated above in front of the smaller unit. enter the number in standard scientific notation if the number is too large.
。make sure to enter the power into the blank in the \e\ form. for example, if your power is 10^5 enter 1e5 into the blank.
· write the larger unit on the left of the equal sign and smaller unit on the right.
· if you need the greek letter mu, copy and paste the symbol below
。μ
1 mm = 1e10 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Identify powers of 10 for prefixes

The prefix "M" (mega -) in Mm has a power of 10 of \(10^{6}\), and the prefix "c" (centi -) in cm has a power of 10 of \(10^{- 2}\).

Step2: Calculate the conversion factor

We subtract the power of 10 for the smaller unit from the power of 10 for the larger unit. So \(6-(-2)=8\).

Step3: Write the conversion

1 Mm (mega - meter) is equal to \(1\times10^{8}\) cm (centi - meter). In the "E" form, it is 1e8.

Answer:

1 Mm = 1e8 cm
