Chapter 1.2, Problem 8R

To determine

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.
