which is smaller: 5 nanometers or 50 micrometers

recall that the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
[tex]\bf \stackrel{~\hfill micro~~}{10^{-6}\implies \cfrac{1}{10^6}\implies \cfrac{1}{1000000}}~~>~~10^{-9}\implies \cfrac{1}{10^9}\implies \stackrel{nano}{\cfrac{1}{1000000000}}[/tex]
5 nanometers is smaller
nano = 10⁻⁹
micro = 10⁻⁶
Therefore,
5 nanometers = 5 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.000000005
50 micrometers = 50 × 10⁻⁶ = 5 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.00005
Therefore,
5 nanometers is smaller than 50 micrometers.
