I'm working on my chemistry lab homework, and I'm not sure if I've done all of my converting right.
Here's the question: DNA is approximately 2.5 nm (nanometers) in length. If an average man is 6 ft tall, how many DNA molecules could be stacked end to end in an average man?
I believe that 1,000,000,000 nm=1m and 1m=3ft. Therefore, 1,000,000,000 nm should equal 3ft. All of that information may not be correct, but I'm pretty sure it is. I need someone else to work this, and share the final number they come up with.
Any help will be appreciated!
