first, fill in the blank below with the correct unit. then use scientific notation to represent the quantity in meters. the height of a drinking glass is about 6.5 (choose one) writing in scientific notation, this is meters.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Select appropriate unit

The height of a drinking - glass is usually measured in centimeters. So the unit is centimeters.

Step2: Convert to meters

Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, to convert 6.5 centimeters to meters, we divide by 100. So $6.5\ cm=\frac{6.5}{100}\ m = 0.065\ m$.

Step3: Write in scientific notation

In scientific notation, a number is written as $a\times10^{n}$, where $1\leqslant|a|\lt10$ and $n$ is an integer. For 0.065, we can write it as $6.5\times10^{-2}$.

Answer:

Centimeters; $6.5\times 10^{-2}$
