Convert milli to pico
Learn how to convert
1
milli to
pico
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(milli\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(pico\right)\)
Define the prefix value(s)
\(The \text{ } value \text{ } of \text{ } milli \text{ } is \text{ } 10^{-3}\)
\(The \text{ } value \text{ } of \text{ } pico \text{ } is \text{ } 10^{-12}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(milli\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(pico\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-3}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{-12}}}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-3}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{-12}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(10^{-3} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{-12}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\({\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-3}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{-9}}{10^{-12}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{-9}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{-9} = 1.0\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{-9} \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}} = \times \dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-9}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-9}}}} = \dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{-9}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{9}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 10^{9}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1000000000 = 1 \times 10^{9}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(milli\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1 \times 10^{9}}\left(pico\right)\)
