Standard Form ExerciseComplete the following questions using the notes on standard form from Molly Marshall Essential Maths Skills. Katerina is a psychiatric nurse. Her patient takes 450,000 micrograms of clozapine every day. She is ordering enough of the drug to last for the next 14 days.How much clozapine does she need to order?

For example the prevalence tends to average at about 1 per 100 however in densely populated areas this figure may be higher and in more rural areas it may be much lower. The following table gives the population per km2 for 6 areas of the UK. Write the population of each city in standard form. Rank the cities from 1-6 in terms with regard to the likely prevalence of schizophrenia, where one is the lowest prevalence and 6 is the highest prevalance.CityNumber of people per square mileStandard formRank order with regard to predicted prevalence of schizophreniaPortsmouth15,336Nottingham10,964Sheffield3,647Peterborough1,349Birmingham11,840Manchester11,439Neuroscientists have discovered that the brain can process visual information in 13 milliseconds. A millisecond is 1/1000 of a second. They exposed Pps incredibly briefly to a sequence of pictures and asked them to identify specific images such as picnic or a smiling couple, they were amazed that Pps were bale to do this accurately with incredibly brief exposure times. The tbale shows the time in seconds that they exposed Pps to the images. Convert the time in seconds into standard form.Exposure time in secondsStandard form0.080.0530.040.0270.013Convert the following figures into standard form:0.000006575670000008900000.004780.32380000000000.050.010.00014500 ................
