Let's go through each of the metric prefixes one by one and identify their symbols and numeric values. Then, we will circle the symbols that represent values greater than the base unit.
1. μ (micro)
- Sign: μ
- Number: 1e-06 (or 10^-6)
2. k (kilo)
- Sign: k
- Number: 1000 (or 10^3)
- [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex] Circle as it's greater than the base unit.
3. m (milli)
- Sign: m
- Number: 0.001 (or 10^-3)
4. n (nano)
- Sign: n
- Number: 1e-09 (or 10^-9)
5. M (mega)
- Sign: M
- Number: 1000000 (or 10^6)
- [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex] Circle as it's greater than the base unit.
6. c (centi)
- Sign: c
- Number: 0.01 (or 10^-2)
7. d (deci)
- Sign: d
- Number: 0.1 (or 10^-1)
8. G (giga)
- Sign: G
- Number: 1000000000 (or 10^9)
- [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex] Circle as it's greater than the base unit.
To circle only those symbols representing values greater than the base unit:
1) μ (micro): 1e-06
2) k (kilo): 1000 [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex]
3) m (milli): 0.001
4) n (nano): 1e-09
5) M (mega): 1000000 [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex]
6) c (centi): 0.01
7) d (deci): 0.1
8) G (giga): 1000000000 [tex]\(\circledast\)[/tex]
So, the circled symbols (those greater than the base unit) are:
- k (kilo)
- M (mega)
- G (giga)
