Your equation doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I can't tell if what you wrote as Sv-1 iskaye77 said:hi i do not understand how to get this as a ratio. 1.25 x 10-2Sv-1 = 1:80
(the - is a to the power of), how does that equal 1:80 what do i do step by step to get 1:80
please could you help i do not understand this.
The unknown variable in this equation is the unit of measurement represented by "Sv-1".
The number 1.25 x 10-2 represents a decimal number in scientific notation. It is a common way to express very small or very large numbers in a more compact form.
"Sv-1" is the unit of measurement for the variable in this equation. It stands for "sieverts per second", which is a unit used to measure radiation dose rate.
The two terms in this equation are equal to each other, meaning they are in a ratio of 1:80. This means that for every 1.25 x 10-2 Sv-1, there is 1:80 of the unknown variable.
To solve for the unknown variable, you would first isolate it on one side of the equation by dividing both sides by 1.25 x 10-2. This would give you the value of the unknown variable in terms of "Sv-1". To find the numerical value of the unknown variable, you would need to convert "Sv-1" to a specific unit of measurement.
