Hi everyone today, we have a question asking us to determine the conversion factors necessary to convert the following metric units nanoseconds to milliseconds. So we first want to go to nana seconds, two seconds. So to do that, we're going to start out with our one nanosecond And we're going to multiply that by our 10 to the negative nine seconds over one nanosecond And that takes us two seconds and now we want to go to milliseconds. So to do that, we're going to multiply by one millisecond over 10 to the negative third seconds. So the conversion factors we used here was one nanosecond Equals 10 to the negative 9th seconds and one millisecond Equals 10 to the -3 seconds. So these are our conversion factors. Thank you for watching. Bye.
