Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that metric prefixes represent powers of ten and are used to express very large or very small quantities in a more manageable form.
Identify the power of ten given in the problem, which is \(10^{-6}\).
Match the power of ten \(10^{-6}\) to the corresponding metric prefix. For example, \(10^{-3}\) corresponds to milli-, \(10^{-9}\) corresponds to nano-, and \(10^{-12}\) corresponds to pico-.
Recognize that the prefix for \(10^{-6}\) is micro-, which is commonly denoted by the Greek letter 'μ'.
Conclude that the metric prefix corresponding to \(10^{-6}\) is micro-.
