hi
there is a question under units. "How many hectowatts in 167 milliwatts?"

All of the other questions in this module ask for answers to the nearest 1000 so I entered .002

The answer needed is 167 . 10-5, but there is no indication of scientific notation under "acceptable formats".

I should have read the question more carefully but this was frustrating anyway.
