A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which

tells you there are 1000 millimeters (mm) in a meter. The prefix “nano” means 109 (1 billion), which tells you there are 1 billion nanometers (nm) in a meter. Approximately how many SARS-CoV-2 viruses could fit in that period? (Hint: There are 106 nm in 1mm).

Answer:

A total of 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

Consider a trillion against a thousand, there exists a difference of a million, which means a nanometer will be a million times smaller as compared to one millimeter:

see below for a milli  divided by nano

1/1000​  ÷  1/1000,000,000​  =  1000,000,000  ÷ 1000 =  1000,000

(in reference to the hint given in the question statement)

The question puts one millimeter against 80 nanometers. The calculation for this will be given as follows:

1/1000 ​  ÷  80/1000,000,000 =    1000,000,000 ÷ 80,000​  =  12,500  

According to the above working, there are 12,500 SARS-Cov-2 viruses thatg can fit into one period.

What is a hypothesis?
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D.) a suggested answer to a problem

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a supposition, suggested answer or a proposed explanation based on limited evidence which can be use to start an investigation. A hypothesis is more than a guess but less than a established theory and it can be tested through study and experiments.

<u>A hypothesis is part of the scientific method </u>because it is a prediction which can be tested and the results from those experiments may disprove a hypothesis, but can never entirely prove one.

It is not a conclusion because it is an idea which tries to explain an observation. It is not information collected from experiments because hypothesis are formulated before carrying out the experiments and it is not a widely accepted idea because it just proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon.
