A typical red blood cell in human blood has a diameter of approximately 0.007 mm. Enter this diameter in scientific notation.

In scientific notation, this diameter is × 10 mm.

What is the answer?

Answer :

Using scientific notation it is found that the diameter of a red blood cell in human blood is of:

[tex]7 \times 10^{-3}[/tex] mm.

What is scientific notation?

A number in scientific notation is given by:

[tex]a \times 10^b[/tex]

With the base being [tex]a \in [1, 10)[/tex].

In this problem, the diameter is of 0.007 mm, hence:

[tex]0.007 = 0.07 \times 10^{-1} = 0.7 \times 10^{-2} = 7 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]

Hence in scientific notation, the diameter is:

[tex]7 \times 10^{-3}[/tex] mm.
