Full precision:2.7e-11 Ci
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 becquerels to curies, we divide by 3.7e+10 because one curie equals exactly 3.7e+10 becquerels.
1 curie = 3.7e+10 becquerels
Since there are 3.7e+10 becquerels in every curie, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 2.7e-11 curies
So 1 becquerels = 2.7e-11 curies.
Quick check: 2.7e-11 × 3.7e+10 = 1 becquerels
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 Bq = 2.7e-11 Ci
1 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 2.7e-11
1 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 2.7e-11
Example 2: 5 Bq = 1.35e-10 Ci
5 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 1.35e-10
5 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 1.35e-10
Example 3: 10 Bq = 2.7e-10 Ci
10 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 2.7e-10
10 ÷ 3.7e+10 = 2.7e-10
