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

Answer 1

Terameter is 10²⁴ times picometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Tera = 10¹², 1 Giga = 10⁹, 1 Mega = 10⁶, 1 kilo = 10³

1 Pico = 10⁻¹², 1 Nano = 10⁻⁹, 1 Micro = 10⁻⁶, 1 milli = 10⁻³

Here we need to find how much larger is a terameter than a picometer.

1 terameter = 10¹²m and 1 picometer = 10⁻¹²m

Ratio = terameter/picometer = 10¹²/10⁻¹² = 10²⁴

So terameter is 10²⁴ times picometer.
