​

Answer 1

Answer:

51 : 64

51 : 12

16 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the following:

Size of a plant cell to thickness of a piece of paper.

a) Size of plant cell to diameter of a wire on a computer chip.

(1) Thickness of a piece of paper to diameter of a wire on a computer chip

Given size of plant cell = 0.00001275 m

Thickness of a piece of paper = 0.0016 cm

diameter of a wire on a computer chip = 0.000003 m

Thickness of a piece of paper = 0.0016 cm = 0.000016 m

Size of a plant cell to thickness of a piece of paper.

Size of Plant cell : thickness of a piece of paper.

0.00001275  :  0.000016

multiplying by 100000000

1275 : 1600

51 : 64

Size of plant cell to diameter of a wire on a computer chip

Size of Plant cell :  diameter of a wire on a computer chip

0.00001275  : 0.000003

multiplying by 100000000

1275 : 300

51 : 12

Thickness of a piece of paper to diameter of a wire on a computer chip

Thickness of a piece of paper : diameter of a wire on a computer chip

0.000016 : 0.000003

multiplying by 1000000

16 : 3
