// Make the following conversions: (a) convert 25 mA to uA (b) convert 2700 kOhms to MOhms.

disp ('To convert 25 mA to uA, recall that the metric prefix milli (m) corresponds to 10^3 and that metric prefix micro (u) corresponds to 10^6. Since 10^6 is less than 10^3 by a factor of 1000 (10^3), the numerical part of the expression must be increased by a factor of 1000 (10^3).') 
disp ('Therefore, 25 mA = 25*10^-3 A = 25,000*10^-6 A = 25,000 uA.')
