Units (Negative Digits) to Scientific Notation (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on converting measurements in units using scientific notation, specifically targeted at numbers represented in negative powers. Each problem presents a number related to a specific unit, such as gigabytes, gigajoules, teraamps, and terabytes, and asks to convert these into scientific notation. The problems are structured to enhance understanding of scientific notation concepts, particularly the application and manipulation of negative exponent values associated with smaller units in the metric system. This reinforces skills in not only scientific notation but also in understanding and converting between different unit magnitudes.
