Answer

1.368 $\times 10^{8}$ calculations/microsecond

Work Step by Step

1 microsecond = $10^{-6}$ seconds 1 teraunit = $10^{12}$ units. Converting 136.8 teracalculations per second to calculations per microseconds: 136.8 $\dfrac{teracalculations}{second}$ = 136.8 $\dfrac{ 10^{12} calculations}{10^{6} microseconds}$ 136.8 $\times 10^{6}$ calculations/microsecond. Converting into scientific notation: 1.368 $\times 10^{8}$ calculations/microsecond.
