Answer:
The new length of the tear is 2.3 * 10^-2 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are concerned with knowing the new length of the tear.
Originally, the length of the tear is 2.3 * 10^-4 inch.
But this tear became 100 times longer. The new length of the tear will be the old length * 100
Mathematically, that would be 2.3 * 10^-4 inch * 100
= 2.3 * 10^-4 * 10^2
= 2.3 * 10^(-4 + 2)
= 2.3 * 10^-2 inch
