Which is smaller: 5 nanometers or 50 micrometers

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.

recall that the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?
