Answer:

7.5 * 10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To express this, we will have to multiply 750 by the conversion unit

we have this as;

750 * 10^-6

750 = 7.5 * 10^2

so we have;

7.5 * 10^2 * 10^-6

= 7.5 * 10^(-6+2)

= 7.5 * 10^-4

The diameter of the bacterium in meters using scientific notation is 7.50 × 10^-4

  • Length of the bacterium = 750 micrometers
  • One micrometer = 10^-6

How to write scientific notation

  • Move the decimal point in between the first and second number

  • Count the number of digits after the decimal point

Diameter of the bacterium in scientific notation = 7.50 × 10²

Recall one micrometer = 10^-6

So

7.50 × 10² × 10^-6

= 7.50 × 10^(2-6)

= 7.50 × 10^-4
