Question

Write the numerical value for each of the following prefixes:

c. milli

Accepted Answer

Welcome back everyone. Which of the following numerical values and prefixes are correctly paired. We have choices A through D choice A gives the numerical value of 1000 corresponding to the prefix Milly. Choice B gives the numerical value one million corresponding to the prefix Giga. Choice C gives the numerical value of 0.1 corresponding to the prefix desi. And choice D gives the numerical value of one millionth corresponding to the prefix micro. Beginning with choice a recognize that our numerical value 1000 corresponds to 10 to a power of three which we want to recall corresponds to our prefix of kilo expressed by the abbreviation under case K. Whereas our prefix Milly we should recall corresponds to the numerical value of 10 to the negative third power. So we would rule out choice A because it's an incorrect pair. Moving on to choice B, we have the numerical value of one million corresponding to the prefix Giga. Recall that one million can be expressed as 10 to the sixth power which we should recall corresponds to the prefix of mega capital M expressed by the abbreviation capital M. Whereas our abbreviation or rather unit of giga prefix of giga. Rather we should recall corresponds to a power of to the ninth as its numerical value. And so we have an incorrect match for choice B and we can rule choice B out. Next we have choice C which gives the value 0.1 corresponding to the prefix. Desi recall that 0.1 can also be expressed as 10 to the negative second power. And recall that this corresponds to our prefix of senti whereas we should recall corresponds to the numerical value of 10 to the negative first power or just 0.1. So we can rule out choice C because it's an incorrect pair. And lastly, we have choice D which gives the numerical value of one millionth corresponding to the prefix micro. So let's recall that one millionth can also be expressed as 10 to the negative sixth power, which does indeed correspond to our prefix micro, which can be represented by the abbreviation under case M under case C or can be expressed by the abbreviation micro. And so D would be our only correct choice as our final answer which correctly pairs the numerical value one millionth to the prefix micro. I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
