Answer:

A terameter is 10²⁴ times larger than a picometer.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

The largest metric prefix that is ordinarily used is tera, while the smallest prefix is pico. how much larger is a terameter than a picometer.

Explanation:

1 tera = 10¹² and

1 pico = 10⁻¹²

To determine how much larger a terameter is than a picometer, we will divide the value of 1 terameter by the value of 1 picometer.

1 terameter = 10¹² meters and

1 picometer = 10⁻¹² meters

1 terameter / 1 picometer = 10¹² / 10⁻¹²

= 10¹²⁻⁽⁻¹²⁾

= 10¹²⁺¹²

= 10²⁴

Hence, a terameter is 10²⁴ times larger than a picometer.
