Scientific Notation - Units (Negative Digits) to Scientific Notation (Level 1)

This math topic involves converting different units into scientific notation. Each question provides a number with a specific unit (megagrams, megabytes, decimeters, megaamps, centimeters, amps) and asks to convert the number into scientific notation by considering the appropriate power of ten alongside base units (grams, bytes, meters, amps). The exercises test the understanding of metric prefixes and their conversion into standard scientific notation. The options for each answer illustrate different exponent choices, emphasizing the necessity for precision and attention to detail in scientific measurements.
