Why would the size of an elephant be expressed in meters but that of a bacterium in microns?

How wide in meters is a bacterium that measures 11 microns?
0.000011m
How many microns are in 0.0000351 meters?
0.0000351 meters=35.1 microns
How many microns in 2 meters?
2 meters = 2,000,000 microns
How many microns are in 0.000351meters?
351 microns are in 0.000351 meters
If an object is the length of 0.000351 meters what is the length of the object in microns?
351 microns
How many microns in 0.000351 meters?
1 metre = 1 million microns so 0.000351 metres = 351 microns
How may microns are in 2 meters?
There are 1000 microns in a millimetre.There are 1000 millimetres in a metre, so 1,000,000 microns in a metre.Therefore there are 2,000,000 microns in two metres.
An object has a width of 0.000351 meters.what is the width of the object in microns?
1 meter = 1,000,000 microns So to find microns multiply meters by 1,000,000 The answer is 351 microns
How many microns are there in 0.2 meters?
There are 1000000 microns in one metre. Therefore, 0.2 metres is equal to 0.2 x 1000000 = 200000 microns.
How many microns equals to 1km?
1 meter =1,000,000 microns 1 km = 1000 meters 1 km = 1,000,000,000 microns ( one billion)
240 meters is equal to how many microns?
One micron is one millionth of a meter, or 1/8th the width of a human hair. The measurement is used to determine particles in an air stream. Therefore 140 microns would be 140 millionths of a meter. For more details, Google ''Define: Micron''
How many centimeters is 2911 microns?
There are 100 centimeters in a meter. There are one million microns in one meter, so 2911 microns = .002911 meters, which equals .2911 centimeters.
