The virus that causes the flu has a width of 130 nanometers. a nanometer is 0.1 m write the width of the flu virus in scientific notation

The answer is 1,3 x 10-7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nanometer unit is a measure of length. The prefix nano refers to 9, in this case 10 ^ -9. That is, 130 nm = 130x 10 ^ -9 m equals 1.3 x10 -7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

So, first we multiply the width of the virus and the nanometers

Now we have the width in meters, we express the number in scientific notation.

To do that, we must move the decimal point 6 spots to the right, then we express that as a power which base is 10 and its exponent 6 (the number of spots we moved)

Therefore, the scientific notation is

4x and 6y

im not sure though
