Hi, Damon helped me with this problem earlier, but im confused on how he got the answer. I really don't understand the math or the mathamatical symbols he used. Would someone maybe explain to me in a different way.


E. Coli, a typical bacterius is about 2 micrometers long ( i don't know how to type the symbol for micrometers, its looks almost like a "pm". How many E. Coli could you line up, end-to-end, in one mm?

1 micrometer (micron) = 1000 mm
