Neurons are cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. And average neuron is about 5 • 10^negative 6 meter in diameter. A standard table tennis ball is 0.04 meter in diameter. About how many times as great is the diameter of a ball than a neuron?

    Since this is about finding the relative value of one parameter to another, our approach of solving this problem is by finding the ratio. In this way, we can compare the degree of their difference.

    Ratio = Diameter of ball/Diameter of neuron

    Ratio = 0.04 m/5*10⁻⁶ m

    Ratio = 8,000

    Therefore, the tennis ball is 8,000 times larger than the neuron,
