14. Examine the following solution to a conversion problem. Do you see a mistake? If so, identify the location of the first mistake and explain why it is incorrect.
AThe conversion is not possible. BThe first problem occurs in column (1). The problem should begin with mg. CThe first problem occurs in column (2). 1 kg is not equal to 1000 g, so that should not be used as the conversion factor. DThe first problem occurs in column (2). The conversion factor is upside down (grams should be on top, and kg should be on bottom). EThe first problem occurs in column (4). The multiplication and division was performed incorrectly. FNo mistakes.
15. Examine the following solution to a conversion problem. Do you see a mistake? If so, identify the location of the first mistake and explain why it is incorrect.
AThe first problem occurs in column (1). The problem should begin with cm. BThe first problem occurs in column (2). 1 m is not equal to 1000 mm, so that should not be used as the conversion factor. CThe first problem occurs in column (2). 1 m is not equal to 1000 mm, so that should not be used as the conversion factor. DThe first problem occurs in column (4). The multiplication and division was performed incorrectly. ENo mistakes. FThis conversion is not possible.
16. Examine the following solution to a conversion problem. Do you see a mistake? If so, identify the location of the first mistake and explain why it is incorrect.
AThe first problem occurs in column (4). The multiplication and division was performed incorrectly. BThe first problem occurs in column (3). Using scientific notation for one conversion factor, but not the other, is not allowed. CThe first problem occurs in column (2). The units are not equal, so that should not be used as the conversion factor. DThe first problem occurs in column (1). The problem should begin with cm. EThis conversion is not possible. FNo mistakes.
17. Examine the following solution to a conversion problem. Do you see a mistake? If so, identify the location of the first mistake and explain why it is incorrect.
ANo mistakes. BThe conversion is not possible. CThe first problem occurs in column (1). The problem should begin with L. DThe first problem occurs in column (4). The multiplication and division was performed incorrectly. EThe first problem occurs in column (3). We are not allowed to use a conversion factor of (1 L/ 1L). FThe first problem occurs in column (2). 1 L is not equal to 1000 kL, so that should not be used as the conversion factor.

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation
Hi;
For number 1, I can not understand most of that.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation
Oh, I get it.
1) C is correct. You could put some spaces in there. Powers like x squared are written like this x^2 instead of x2.

Hi;
If this is what 2) is:
Then C is incorrect! Try again please.

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation
Hi;
When you raise an expression to a power you are really doing this:
So the exponent is (-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3) = -15

Please hold on. For 6, what did your teacher tell you about standard notation?

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation
Nope, I do not think so. I think you write it without the decimal point. Right now it is in scientific notation.
