Question 1009278: Rhinoviruses, which are the leading cause of the common cold, have a diameter of 20 nanometers (20 × 10−9 meter). Pneumococcus, a bacterium causing pneumonia, measures about 1 micron (10−6 meter) in diameter. How many times as large in diameter as the virus is the bacterium?

We would divide the two measurements and so
1+x+10%5E%28-6%29+%2F+%2820+x+10%5E%28-9%29%29 =
50 times as large
