To make a table: to organize the measurements from smallest to largest and include the multiplying factors for each: kilometer, nanometer, centimeter, meter, and micrometer.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
For each conversion of the given measurements a multiplying factor has to be used in terms of a particular measurement.Let that particular measurement be in meter.
The measurements for smallest to largest can be arranged as in the following table:
S.I | Given unit | Conversion to meter |
1. | nanometer | 0.000000001 of a meter |
2. | micrometer | 0.000001 of a meter |
3. | centimeter | 0.01 of a meter |
4. | meter | 1.0 meter |
5. | kilometer | 1000 meter |
Conclusion:
Hence, the above table shows the measurements in order of the smallest to largest including the multiplying factors for each unit.
