Question

1m = 1000 mm (millimeter)
1 mm = 1000 μm (micrometer)
1 μ = 1000 nm (nanometer)

If the tube is 1 nm in diameter, then
veryify that
5 μm = 5*1000 nm = 5000 nm
= how many diameters?

Is it 5 diameters?

Answer 1

If the tube is 1 nm in diameter, then
veryify that
5 μm = 5*1000 nm = 5000 nm
= how many diameters?

Can you tell us what prevents you from finding the answer with the information above?

Answer 2

Recall that the original question is:

(I) If a nanotube is 5 micrometers long, how many diameters does this represent?

Answer 3

I am experiencing a major block....

I can't say....
1micrometer= 1000nm
5micrometer= x..... because I'll get back the same thing

So please help me, tell me the answer please.
