Convert 6 millimetres to metres
6/1000
0.006 metres
Or
6x10^-3 if in standard form
Convert 6 millimetres to kilometres
6/1000 =0.006
0.006/1000=0.000006 kilometres
Or
6x10^-6 if in standard form
Convert 6 millimetres to micrometers
6x1000=6,000 micrometers
Or 6x10^3 if in standard form
Convert 6 millimetres to nanometres
6x1000=6,000
6000x1000=6,000,000 nanometres
Or 6x10^6 if in standard form
What is the smallest value a naked human eye can see
100 micrometers
With a light microscope what is the smallest value we can see
500 micrometers
With an electron microscope what is the smallest value we can see
0.1 nanometres

Convert 30centimetres to nanometres
Centimetres -> millimetre
30x10=300 millimetres
300x1000=300,000 micrometres
300000x1000=300,000,000 nanometres
Or 3x10^8 in standard form
