~~ An electron microscope can see one-ten thousandth of the distance across a cell that is 10^-8 across. What is the width of the microscope's viewing field in meters? Your answer must be in scientific notation. ~~

 

I have no idea how to do this problem. Where do I begin? What operations must I do?

Aziz is right, there should be units BUT

I think that you are just being asked to find

$$One ten thousandths of $10^{-8} = 10^{-4}*10^{-8} = 10^{-12}$ units$$

What are the units of the 1/10,000 and 10^-8?
