Convert 156 ms to megaseconds.

A. [tex]156 \times 10^{-10} \text{ Ms}[/tex]
B. [tex]1.56 \times 10^{-7} \text{ Ms}[/tex]
C. 15.6 Ms
D. [tex]1.56 \times 10^{-6} \text{ Ms}[/tex]
E. [tex]156 \times 10^{-10} \text{ Ms}[/tex]

Answer :

To convert 156 milliseconds to megaseconds, follow these steps:

1. Convert milliseconds to seconds. Recall that:
[tex]$$1\,\text{ms} = 10^{-3}\,\text{s}.$$[/tex]
Hence, for 156 ms:
[tex]$$156\,\text{ms} = 156 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{s} = 0.156\,\text{s}.$$[/tex]

2. Convert seconds to megaseconds. Since:
[tex]$$1\,\text{Ms} = 10^{6}\,\text{s},$$[/tex]
then:
[tex]$$1\,\text{s} = 10^{-6}\,\text{Ms}.$$[/tex]
Therefore, converting 0.156 seconds to megaseconds:
[tex]$$0.156\,\text{s} = 0.156 \times 10^{-6}\,\text{Ms} = 1.56 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{Ms}.$$[/tex]

Thus, the final answer is:
[tex]$$1.56 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{Ms}.$$[/tex]
